Actually, I've been sharing IDAPI32.cfg for over 20 years (starting with
Win95 and Novell Netware). The trick is to put it in a folder outside
Program Files and to make it ReadOnly. As I understand it, IDAPI32.cfg
contains the BDE parameters and doesn't get updated by users in their
day-to-day operations. You define a different IDAPI32.cfg file with the
-O Paradox command line switch.
Her problem may have something to do with the "Windows 10 update 1803
broke my network connections" problem. Intel NIC card drivers (not all)
are removed from the computer and the drivers need to be manually
re-installed. Something to do with an .inf file being deleted by the update.
