Hi All
We have recently had a number of strange problems
with the BDE reporting out of disk space even when a machine has many gigs
free.
I have traced the error to known problem with
the BDE where it uses GetDiskSpace instead of GetDiskSpaceEx when determining
the amount of free HDD space. GetDiskSpace does not return the correctly
amount on drives with more than 4 gig free (sometimes causing the BDE to believe
no HDD is available).
I know the problem but have found no
solutions. It amazes me that Borland has not fixed this problem in version
5.11 / 5.2. It has been a known bug since early BDE versions.
GetDiskSpace was made obsolete in win 95 SP2. Does anyone have a way
of avoiding these problems, the only 'solution' I have found is a program that
creates a large file to use up some drive space. We would rather the error
didn't occur in the first place.
