Hi

I am having a bit of a dog of a problem with W10 and the BDE

I am trying to bring a W10 laptop into our network and need it to share 
a NETFILE with the other PDOX clients.

I uses the same drive mapping as all the other (non-W10) clients and 
ostensibly the same cfg file but that is where I am getting strange 
results.

In paradox, the settings in Preferences | Database and Preferences | 
BDE all look fine.
But I get errors when running my main startup form

Error

The system cannot find the file :penta:___posn_summary.db

OK



and a further 3 errors list 3 other tables that it "cannot find". All 4 
of the tables DO exist btw.

All 4 of these tables are deployed from the :penta: alias to the :priv: 
alias in the form INIT method, after a disabledefault. The deployment 
works fine on other non-W10 machines.

Once deployed (post- DODEFAULT ) they should become part of the form 
data model.

But I get another error:

Paradox
cannot open :WORK:my_table.db
You have attempted to open a database that is in use by someone else, 
but the database cannot be shared. You must set the location for the 
.NET control file

Do you want to replace :WORK:my_table.db



That says to me that there is a BDEADMIN problem.

If i run the BDE Admin .cpl file it seems to run ok and there is 
nothing much wrong with the settings. But bif I try to save the config, 
BDEADMIN crashes. Sounds like a permission problem to me.

What can I do about this problem?
