Would "localshare" help?   Max   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steven Wild Sent: Friday, 17 September 1999 13:57 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: BDE Hi   In a situation where we have to use dbf tables and the BDE 5.1 we have a problem when we have two applications running on the one machine and both are accessing the bde.  One of them is adding records to a table with a bit over 4,000,000 records and 6 indexes in it and the other is wanting to view records from the same table.  THe one wanting to view is forced to wait until the updating is finished.   If the second app is run on a different machine but looking over the network at the same tables it gets immediate access to the table while it is being updated.   Our conclusion is that the BDE can only adequately service one application at a time and so it works OK over the network because each app is using a separate copy of the BDE.  Assuming that our conclusion is correct how do we get the BDE to support two apps concurrently on the one machine?    Steven
