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.
