Hi all, I'm trying to run my D3 program with a Paradox BDE Database from a CD-ROM. It's killing me! Every time I try to make a little query I get this weird message : -----------------------> start of cut Invalid Parameter Permission Denied File : ..\_QSQ1.MB Table: ..\_QSQ1.DB File or directory does not exist File : ..\_QSQ2.MB Table: ..\_QSQ2.DB File : ..\_QSQ3.MB Table: ..\_QSQ3.DB <--------------------------- end of cut I wonder if its some temporary files that BDE is trying to create on my CD-ROM ??? Its not any of my database files or tables. When I run the program from my harddisk, its working fine. At least as long as the directory isnt write-protected. How do I get out of this mess ? thanks in advance for any help regards Allan Krings e-mail: allan.krings@get2net.dk

At least : as long as the directory isnt write-protected. Yes, the _qsql* files are temporary files for the queries, which the BDE is trying to create in the same directory as the executable. I don't know if there's any way to run the executable from a read-only directory, such as on a CD-ROM, but tell the BDE to create its temporary files elsewhere. If anyone knows of a way, I would also be curious to know what it is. -- ============================================================ Rick Carter carterrk@email.uc.edu rcarter@tso.cin.ix.net ============================================================

I think to remember you can set the directory with BDECFG in the paradox driver settings.
