Hi Laurie,
Make sure that the NETDIR setting in the BDE (Configuration, Drivers,
Native, Paradox) is pointing at the same location for both machines (ie.
\\machine1\c on one machine and c:\ on the other - the latter for the
machine on which the table is stored).
As far as pitfalls are concerned, if in fact the data *is* being stored
on a local drive, ensure you have LOCAL SHARE set to true, otherwise
changes are not written to the database until the application exits.
Also, I've found in the past, that if LOCAL SHARE is FALSE in this
situation, and the application crashes (and sometimes even when it
closes normally), the data is not save - haven't figured out why yet.
Regards,
Bevan
