Are you using Paradox the Application, or only Paradox the Table Format? If
Application, what version and what Operating System & Version are you using?

If not Paradox the Application, what language is your application written
in?

I need share a paradox tables in windows environment.

I have an application in delphi with paradox tables and the same
application in multiple computers.

Adrian,

This is what we tell folks who use Paradox the application:

> 1. http://www.thedbcommunity.com/faq/13.htm
>
> 2. Oplocks:
> A. NT: http://www.tonymcguire.com/oplocks-nt.htm
> i. UseOpportunisticLocking should be 0
> ii. EnableOplocks should be 0
> iii. The rest don't matter
> B. Win2K/XP: http://www.tonymcguire.com/oplocks-2000.htm
> i. OplocksDisabled should be 1
> ii. EnableOplocks should be 0
> iii. The rest don't matter
> C. Win9x: Control Panel, System applet, Performance tab, File System
> button, Troubleshooting tab, CHECK the boxes labeled:
> i. "Disable new file sharing and locking semantics."
> ii. "Disable write-behind caching for all drives."
> iii. On the Hard Disk tab, you may wish to try setting Read-ahead
> optimization to None, but I think that should only make a difference
> on the server machine.
>
> 3. N/A
>
> 4. LOCALSHARE (BDE, Configuration tab, Configuration > System > INIT)
> must be set to TRUE for all users.
>
> 5. Disk caching on Win2K (presumably XP, but I can't check that):
> Properties for the drive, Hardware tab, select the disk of interest,
> click the Properties button, on the Disk Properties tab, UNcheck the
> "Write cache enabled" box if it'll let you.
>
> 6. Make sure the machine serving the .DB files isn't being used as a
> workstation.

...plus whatever they tell you on Borland's Delphi and BDE forums.

DBWORK.INI is used by an application, like Database Desktop. It isn't a BDE
configuration-file.

The main parameters that must be set, on each workstation, are these:
NET FILE DIR = a common, read/writable directory
LOCAL SHARE = TRUE

Both of these are BDE Configuration parameters.

There are, as Liz cited, many existing documents on this subject.
