Here is what worked for me when I implemented this type of thing on Win98. You must use Microsoft Network client for connecting to a shared folder on the network drive. The database file will be on the shared folder, each user must have read/write access to it. There is an excellent explanation of the details of what has to be done found at the delphi-db list. The link is http://www.elists.org/pipermail/delphi-db/2000-May/001636.html Here are some suggestions on what you have to do in the program. The application you give to each user must do the following. Use the BDE to connect to the paradox database on a network share, do not use the option of directly mapping the file in the Delphi IDE. Every user must connect to the network share containing the database file in the same way. When your program starts up, it must clean up files left behind when other users were using the database. When each user logs into the database, the program should attempt to delete the file PDOXUSRS.NET and the file PDOXUSRS.LCK files. You can choose where these go on the network, either with the application code or through the BDE, but they must be on the network in a folder that all the users of your application and access You should use a Try ... Finally code block in the procedure that does this because if there is another user connected and using the table, there will be an error message for the user who tries to delete these files. These should be ignored and not displayed to the user, it is simply a result of using the file system to confirm that the file is in use. The purpose of this is to delete the files if they were left behind by another application that crashed or lost it's connection to the network. In this way your application will clean up after itself and avoid the disruption of having a .NET or .LCK file that is out of sync with the network session of the application. You might look at the way the MastApp application in the Delphi Demos folder as a way of becoming familiar with the different configuration issues. Regards, Brian ------------------------ Yahoo!
