Hi

I have written an app that uses a paradox db. I did not use an alias as I
wanted the app to run without needing to install it, or set an alias in the
bde. The app works fine on stand alone machines that have the bde installed.
However, I have just placed the app in a shared directory of a network( Y:
drive), it works fine for the first person who runs the app, but the next
person gets an error:

'directory controlled by other .net file'
file of dir does not exist
file c:\ pdoxusers.net..
dir c:\
file y:\....pdoxusers.lck

It is running on win98 workstations with a win2000 server (i think) I am
dealing with the db using the bde SQL and Table components with actual
database names ie 'company.db'

Is this because i havent set an alias?

Thanks for any help given

Jo
