When I click on the BDE administrator, I get the following message:
Database Engine Error

Could not find Object

Details: BDE Error 8712 (second field says:) [$22][$8]

Also, once it loads, cannot access any alias'. under the database panel
option. The configuration panel option works fine.This same problem comes up
in Delphi when I drop a Database or table object and select the database
name property.

I can access existing alias's (native only) in the database desktop. No ODBC
alias' show up.

At this time I can't create any new alias', nor access existing ones in
Delphi or BDE Admin.


System, Win98, with ODBC3.5/MDAC 2.0 drivers, BDE 5.01 (latest download).
Also have both the
2nd and 3rd Delphi patches installed.

This may be tied in something else. I recently installed Visual Interdev
6.0, and it added a lot of new stuff, including the MTS server.

I suspect that either there is a shared DLL conflict, or something in the
registry is confusing the BDE.

Need answer asap.

Thanks in advance
