RE: [DUG]: BDE error $2501
Can't remember if this is the correct error code (240D is one of them) but possibly you need to change the "SHAREDMEMLOCATION" in INIT on the configuration tab ob the BDECfg. There's a FAQ, or TechInfo, on borland.com about it, an acceptable settings. However in short the default is EBDE; but anything, I start with 1000, which works in 90% of cases, and increment from there seems to be OK.

My customers were after my "hyde", and I really felt "black and "dunfor'", but I was saved from having to eat "crowe", and my mind put at 'ease", when during a walk in the "garden" I thought by "george", I know the answer! "Mark" my words I was "wright", and in the "nic" of time, I had made the configuration change, and knew I had made a "wise" decision. Oh dear, too many late nights on the keyboard! The fix is to change the setting for SHAREDMEMLOCATION in the BDE setup - Configuration | System | Init. I use a value of "1000" ( less quotes ), but you may have to experiment to find a suitable value. Range values are given in the BDE help. I have only seen it happen in the NT machines. Since making the change I've not had any problems at all.

Re: [DUG]: BDE error $2501
I have found the same thing many times. I reported it to Boland and they gave the following response: >Thank you for submitting your bug report. My suspiscion is that all you need to do is increase your shared >mem size. Otherwise, I cannot reproduce this problem and I'll need you to increase a more details bug report >to fix it in the future. I tried this and it seemed to help a little but also gave other errors (Memory Conficts) sometimes. If you find a better cure let me know. Personally I reckon its a bug and it has done it since BDE 4. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Multiple recipients of list delphi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, 29 March 1999 17:01 Subject: [DUG]: BDE error $2501 Hi, We are having some difficulty with a BDE error message.
