The .NET file should be in a central location and ALL user Paradox install
should point to it. Preferably via a mapped drive same drive letter, but
it can work with a URL.
Also suggest you make a folder that is only for the NET file, in my opinion.


Also, make sure each user has an individual separate PRIV folder and their
setting is set to that folder.

The WORK path can and is often shared, but the PRIV path must be unique.


Close all DBE apps (IDAPI) paradox instances and delete ALL PARADOX.LCK and
PDOXUSRS.LCK files found on all PCs, server, folders.

You can do a command-line (something like this)
DEL "C:\PARADOX.LCK" /Q /F /s
DEL "C:\PDOXUSRS.LCK" /Q /F /s

There are MANY other considerations and DBE settings, but I would start there.
