Hi Larry,

my problem was, that the p*.lck files wasn't in the priv dir, but somewhere 
in a "special folder".
The search found them somewhere (can't remember exactly):

    Users\Ivan\AppData\Local\...

where I don't expect it. But after I've removed them there, the problem 
disappears.

The problem, you've mentioned I had sometimes too - but it was allways easy 
to found the lck-files in the own priv-directory.

Thank to you too.

Ivan

Maybe an another small question:

The BDE uses the registry-entry CONFIGFILE01 for the cfg file.

I've seen there sometimes the file  IDAPI.CFG   and somtimens  IDAPI32.CFG 
file.

Do you know, which-one is used as default during a completely new BDE 
installation (on what depend it)? I.e. which one cfg-file shoud I send with 
the installation routine? One of them, or copy both (the same file with two 
names) during the install to the BDE dir? Then regardless which path is 
registered (IDAPI.CFG or IDAPI32.CFG), there will be allways the same 
CFG-file.

Ivan
