D3 app. Runs flawlessly. Uses BDE 4 and Paradox tables with referential 
integrity.

I want to allow extra user(s) to use the application via peer-to-peer 
Win95/98 network. 

I have tried 3 different scenarios:

--ONE (the usual setting which works fine with  Delphi apps using dBASE 
files)
Setting: No special settings or coding.
Result: Users can use app and access tables without problem.
But, only the changes of one user are stored!

--TWO (as advised by Paradox 8 readme)
Setting:  "LOCAL SHARE" to TRUE in the BDE Configuration Utility on the 
System page.
Results: The second user trying to run the app gets no access:
Error message: "Directory controlled by .NET file."
Location of Lock files:
PDOXUSRS.NET in local root.
PARADOX.LCK in app working directory.
PDOXUSRS.LCK in app working directory.

Note: It does not matter whether the user working on the PC that acts as 
the server also has LOCAL SHARE set to true.

--THREE
Setting: Coding in Delphi to force the LCK directory to be local: 
Session.PrivateDir to local directory.
Result: As in scenario TWO except the location of the lock files is 
different.
Location of Lock files:
PDOXUSRS.NET in local root.
PARADOX.LCK in local root.
PDOXUSRS.LCK in local root.
PDOXUSRS.LCK in app working directory.

Anyone any idea how to allow multiple access?
