be enhanced. For instance, BDE will never have Unicode support. You should not undertake new development with BDE. Consider migrating your existing database applications from BDE to dbExpress. Two session component properties, NetFileDir and PrivateDir, are specific
Bde Error 8712
to applications that work with Paradox tables. NetFileDir specifies the directory that contains the Paradox
Bde Error $000f
network control file, PDOXUSRS.NET. This file governs sharing of Paradox tables on network drives. All applications that need to share Paradox bde error $2501 tables must specify the same directory for the network control file (typically a directory on a network file server). Delphi derives a value for NetFileDir from the Borland Database Engine (BDE) configuration file for a given http://www.tagityourself.com/lite/help/lockfiles.htm database alias. If you set NetFileDir yourself, the value you supply overrides the BDE configuration setting, so be sure to validate the new value. At design time, you can specify a value for NetFileDir in the Object Inspector. You can also set or change NetFileDir in code at run time. The following code sets NetFileDir for the default session to the location of the directory from which your application runs: Session.NetFileDir:= ExtractFilePath(Application.EXEName); Session->NetFileDir http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Seattle/en/Specifying_Paradox_Directory_Locations = ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)); Note: NetFileDir can only be changed when an application does not have any open Paradox files. If you change NetFileDir at run time, verify that it points to a valid network directory that is shared by your network users. PrivateDir specifies the directory for storing temporary table processing files, such as those generated by the BDE to handle local SQL statements. If no value is specified for the PrivateDir property, the BDE automatically uses the current directory at the time it is initialized. If your application runs directly from a network file server, you can improve application performance at run time by setting PrivateDir to a user's local hard drive before opening the database. Note: Do not set PrivateDir at design time and then open the session in the IDE. Doing so generates a Directory is busy error when running your application from the IDE. The following code changes the setting of the default session's PrivateDir property to a user's C:\TEMP directory: Session.PrivateDir:= "C:\TEMP"; Session->PrivateDir = "C:\\TEMP"; Warning: Do not set PrivateDir to a root directory on a drive. Always specify a subdirectory.

Run setup program to reinstall missing component" appears first. But never directory is busy the less after a short time paradox opens up in the working directory. So paradox opens and can be used, but the error boxes are anoying and I would like to get rid of them.

I never heard of the file box.id, but a careful re-install can't hurt.. make sure you have backups, and that you don't let it change your defaults.. as always, the vast majority of all serious Paradox support can be found on www.thedbcommunity.com -- Steven Green - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina USA http://www.OasisTradingPost.com Oasis Trading Post - Collectibles and Memorabilia - Vintage Lego Sets and Supplies - and Paradox Support, too Reply With Quote 05-15-08,11:35 #3 Kelly McK View Profile View Forum Posts Registered User Join Date May 2007 Pos

How can I prevent the "Directory is Busy" error when I open the application a second time? It occurs when I set the Session.NetDirFile property. For example: procedure TformMain.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin Session.Active := False; Session.NetFileDir := 'D:\'; Session.PrivateDir := 'D:\MasterDb'; try Session.Active := True; except on EDBEngineError do ShowMessage('Session error'); end; try tblCustomer.Active := True; except on EDBEngineError do ShowMessage('Cannot open table'); end; end; Rodney View Public Profile Send a private message to Rodney Visit Rodney's homepage!
