Tired of Pdoxusrs.LCK and Pdoxusrs.NET files.

[Oleg Roshchin]

Hi, all

I use Delphi-3 and Oracle-7.3.
I am tired of these files: Pdoxusrs.lck and Pdoxusrs.net.
I don't use Paradox and as I understand these files are being created by
Delphi
when I use cached tables (is it?).
The PROBLEM is: when I develop a Delphi-program on one computer
and then run it on another computer I get an error :
*********************************************************************
Directory is controlled by other .NET file.
Directory: << here is directory where NET file is created>>
File: <<here is directory>>\PDOXUSRS.LCK
*********************************************************************
When I delete this Pdoxusrs.LCK file the program works until I run it on
another computer!?

I tried to change Session.PrivateDir to my local c:\tmp directory.
This doesn't help, furthermore sometimes it causes ANOTHER ERROR: "Directory
busy".
This error is about c:\tmp directory and occurs on the operator:
Session.PrivateDir := 'c:\tmp\';

Advice something please!

Set Session.PrivateDir to network drive.

Sorry, my fault !!!!
In DBE Admin you must set "/configuration/drivers/native/paradox/net
dir" to common network path and "Session.PrivateDir" to local one.

Also...I have run into the problem of having to have the network Drive
letter the same on every machine.
if one machine is J: and another is K:...this has caused me problems...
good luck..

PS. I've use paradox and I hate it...would never again use it..If you
are deep into a project like me, you may want to take a look at
advantage database...they claim that you can easily switch over to their
database...it is scaleable to client server with no code changes...*I'll
beleive that when I see it*. However, I'm going to try this product in
a few months.
good luck
