only other question I can think of.. are you sure you set the net file in 
the BDE on that machine?

Thanks Steven and Kevin. I think you are right about it being a WPerfect
problem Steven. There are no issues with Paradox, so I expect there has
something gone on with one of the more recent updates by Windows 10 as I
have one machine still running (some older software that I use on
occasions) on windows 7 and WP works as normal in that.
