: worked fine until yesterday 10:00pm, displayed a "Directory in use by
: earlier version of Paradox" error when they started it around 8:00am.
Isn't that indicating that pdoxusrs.lck (OLD DOS version) is 'active', and
locking out newer versions?
You might have them delete all .lck files and restart your BDE app. You may
also need to delete your .net file.
It COULD even be a case where the .lck file is on one or more local systems
that couldn't get to the netdir, and the user said to go ahead and start/run
anyway. And their local .net file is controlling the shared directory.
This could even have come from some old program a user tried, and now the
.lck/.net file(s) is locking them out.
