This problem occurs when the Private Directory is the same as the
Application Directory and you are using TQuery's.
In the BDE change the Private Directory and the error goes away

Subject: RE: [DUG]: Lock File too big
Mark,
sounds to me like the app has crashed at some point and the lock file that
the BDE uses for Paradox tables has been corrupted. If you look for a file
called pdoxusrs.lck or paradox.lck (from memory), make sure that your app
is
not running anywhere and delete them. These files should only exists while
your app is running, and disappear when it's closed.
Regards,
Mike
