Certainly not. Windows gives each user a temp folder under Documents and Settings/username which is writable, and is where you should be putting the bde lock file and any other temporary resources. If you put the bde lock file on their local drive then the TS sessions has to access it over the network, which I assume would have a performance hit.
You can use the windows api to get the location of the temp folder for the user: function GetWindowsTempDir: String; type TDirName = array[0..(MAX_PATH - 1)] of Char; var LTempDir: TDirName; begin GetTempPath(MAX_PATH, LTempDir); Result := LTempDir; end; Stacey > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Cross - CRM > Sent: Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:40 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List > Subject: RE: [DUG-Offtopic] Delphi User Group > > You still have to be a little bit careful, especially if you > use the bde.
