Dear All,

I write an application under Windows XP , Delphi 7 and BDE verison 5.0 ( using the paradox table ) for some years before.
The application can be run at different PC (XP) concurrently .

Now some PC are upgraded to Vista Home (32 Bit ) version, the application can be run it under XP or Vista standalone.

The problem is , it cannot be run at XP and Vista PC concurrently .
The error is the BDE problem, how can I fix it ?
( Vista have also install the same BDE 5.0 --> any problem ? )

Thank a lot.

use BDE Administrator to set LOCAL SHARE = true

run BDE Administrator -> configuration -> system -> init

find local share and set loca share = true

Dear Tuga,

What's the error message?

if you use paradox , please set  the net dir of these two pc  point to the same directory 

A
pc 1 net dir = d:\app\data

B
pc2
pc1 must share d:\app\data to pc1 and pc2 must has read/write right of the directory

net dir = \\pc1\d:\app\data

or

net dir = z:\app\data


ps use bde administrator set set net dir

bde administrator->confirguation->Native->Paradox->NET DIR

Dear,

The NET DIR has been set to the same direcotry before.

I get the help information about the LOCAL SHARE setting :

it is just share the file between BDE and non BDE application ??
am I right, or misunderstand this meaning ??

Thank a lot.

I always set pc1's  and pc2's local share to true

the dbf structure has one flag for open share or exclusive

you can use bde app and foxpro to open a dbf


foxpro syntax is

use my_dbf share
or
use my_dbf exclusive

Thx for help.

I have found the problem is due to Vista UAC setting .
