Hi Kevin,

I don't say, that it has something to do with MAXFILEHANDLES in the BDE. I
say, that it solves that error message (simply it can be a subsequent error
of something - e.g. smb, which copes with network mapping ...).

I've tried the solution (I think it was from Liz - 03/01/2023). Changes
MAXFILEHANDLES to whatever (e.g. 128, 255) - nothing changes. The same
error, that there are No More Files (and it follows something with IDAPI
(this is BDE).
Then I've tried to reinstall Pdox9 - nothing changes.
Interesting was, that Pdox9 Runtime had no problems - only Pdox9.
The user I know uses only Runtime - and had minor problems.

OK I've try to solve it. Each step after pc-restart.
Changes every settings within BDE (nothing changes), change the IDAPI32.cfg
file - nothing changes, tried to use something old from archive - nothing
changes.
Then it was impossible to work with Pdox9. Even to open a table (No more
files message with the first table I've tried to open).

And so on.

Then I've look at the OpLocks (just to try something) - nothing changes.
Then I've set some values in the registry - nothing changes.
Rewrite my scripts - nothing chages. They said - everything is OK (even the
values, but fails to open a table on a local HD - not network).

Then I start to delete parts of the BDE registry settings and install the
BDE. At the beginning - nothing changes.
As I've deleted the whole BDE directory and the Rgistry BDE entry CONFIG01,
then reinstall the BDE - the day was saved - everything works normal.
Of course I've to change some settigs (e.g. the LANGDRIVER, ...).

Now I've a "german Pdox9" e.g. the Menus are in german language - before I
had the english version (how this happen - don't ask me - but this is no
problem for me).


I hope, this is the solution, but maybe the future will think different.


I know about google, but ther's very little to read.

Perhaps I start something about "how to save Pdox" - something with smb1, 2,
3. Or if it's possible to make pdox a open source and then ask the MariaDB
(open source MySQL), if it were possible to include Pdox to MariaDB
(something like now Pdox can handle DB and DBF, then MariaDB would have
their database (the same as MySQL) and for local network purposes there
could be a Pdox table version).
Just ideas, which could be presented later. Now I've much to do - at least
until the end of the first july-week.

Hope MAXFILEHANDLE will be silent.

Greetings

Ivan
