Re:mutiple application simultanuous running important

You get a 'Unable to initialize the Borland Database Engine' if the BDE is
not properly installed. Are the two applications running on different PCs
(both should have the BDE installed !) ?

Multi-user settings in BDE Administrator:

Each BDE session must have a unique private directory, which is not
shared with another BDE user or session. I believe Delphi's default
behavior is to make the executable's directory also the working directory
and private directory as well. Change this by setting a value for
Session.PrivateDir that is unique for each user AND each database
session.
