An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210D)

Hi,

I am running Delphi 4.03 and BDE 5.01 and MS-SQL 7.0 b2

If I try open the BDE Administrator then the SQL Explorer I get this error.
The same happens in the IDE if an app is running and the native driver is in
use.

An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine
(error $210D)

Anybody have the solution?

Are you running on NT or 95?

If it's NT, you can try altering the BDE INIT parameters for
SHAREDMEMLOCATION setting it to "0x3000" (without the quotes).

I am running Windows NT 4.0 sp 4, Delphi 4.03 and BDE 5.01 and MS-SQL 7.0
Final.

I tried your suggestion, but I still get the error message if I open the BDE
Administator and then try open SQL Explorer.

The error message is actually:

"Exception EDBEngineError in module Vcldb40.bpl at 00022D6A."
"An error occured while attempting to initialize the Borland Database
Engine."

This is really annoying for development as I can never tell whether this
error is causing other errors.
