Hello Peter, I don't know if this will help but this is my experience using the BDE in a multi-threaded enviroment.
The BDE is not thread-safe but can be effectively thread-safe is you code it correctly. This means that each thread must have a local TSession, TDatabase, and TTable/TQuery. If any of those components start cross threading you will experience all sorts of nasty problems. Also, the SessionName and the DatabaseName must be unique for each thread, otherwise the underlying DBI objects are the same. Furthermore, if you are using dBase tables and running your application as a service you can have further problems when the current interactive user logs out. The good news is that is you respect these rules, then the BDE will run very happily even on large SMP machines. We have many such installations, although migrating to DBX4. Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Stephen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> Delphi-Talk@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
