: I get the error
: "Could not initalize IDAPI Multipul .NET files in use"
: whenever I try to start the Database Desktop. What could
: be causing this?
Run the BDE configuration utility (BDECFG.EXE, found in the IDAPI direc-
tory), go to the Drivers tab page (the first tab page), highlight the
PARADOX driver in the Driver Name listbox, and look at the NET DIR
setting in the Parameters list to the right. This setting must be set to
a valid drive and directory if the Database Desktop (DBD) utility is to
be able to use Paradox tables in a network environment. (Since the DBD
does not know what type of tables you *might* open, it must consider the
possibility it might be Paradox on its starting initialization. And just
being attached to a network qualifies as a "network environment" in the
context of the DBD.)
This setting determines the PDOXUSRS.NET file to use for multi-user
access to Paradox tables. The file PDOXUSRS.NET is the "traffic cop"
responsible for handling the access of multiple users to Paradox
tables (who has what record locked, etc.). If you will not be engaging
in multi-user Paradox table access, set NET DIR to the C:\ directory.
