It all comes down to those few settings in the BDE Config
1.
Network Control file - there must be one and only one on the entire network
which every Pdox user has full access to, and every copy of your application
must use this single PDoxUsers.Net. How you do it - with a BDE Alias, or
coded into your app, dont matter. NOTE Full access means Unrestricted read
write access. The onsite network Nazis will try everything they can to screw
you around with this.
Session.NetFileDir :=
2. It also pays to make it easy to clean up crap by
Session.PrivDir :=
3. And set Local Share = True
If you have 1 and 3 then it will work.
Your comprehension of the net file dir is pretty important. Dont ever forget
it exists as it (or some problem with it) is often the cause of a support
call.
Hope that helps...
Tony.

Subject: [DUG-DB]: Application not showing table updates
This post has been copied from the main Delphi group because of no
responses.
Hopefully I will have more luck here. If I haven't given enough
information, please ask.
Hi
This is a question that relates to a D3 / Paradox app. running on NT
Terminal Server.
The application opens all tables in the database as it starts and only
closes them as it ends, unless the user specifically closes and reopens
the database.
In the code, every Post is followed by DBISaveChanges.
The site is complaining that with two (or more presumably) workstations
using the system, postings from one workstation are not appearing in
TLists on the other workstation, even when these are specifically
refreshed from the database.
If the database on the second workstation is closed and re-opened the
data then appears.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do to ensure that these
postings are immediately available to the second (and subsequent)
workstations.
I find it difficult to test these multiuser things as I don't have
access to a network (let alone NT Terminal Server!)
If there are some tests that I can get the site to do, to home in on the
problem, any suggestions will be gratefully (desparately?) received.
TIA
Mark
