Is "___posn_summary.db" really the name of the table or am I seeing missing 
foreign characters weirdly ?

What path have you set for the netfile ? It must be an identical path with 
only the drive letter able to differ. Also make sure that local share is set 
to TRUE in the BDE on all machines. I am also assuming reading your post 
that you are not actually sharing the same physical cfg file across users 
across different BDE installations, cause that will cause grief.

Lastly, The CFG file must reside in a folder that each user of the machine 
has permission to update, so check the permissions on the folder tree.
