Fried Tables

We are having a serious problem and are wondering if anyone has an idea on
what may be happening.

We are using Delphi 2, Paradox Tables, and Novell 4.11.

Our application stores the tables on the network but the EXE is on each
individual machine. Twice in the last week we have had three tables (the
same three) get fried. They all report a file size of 120 bytes after being
fried. We have not been able to recover the tables (tried using TUtility).
We don't know if this is a programming error, database error, or network
error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

In the BDE setup, where do you have the network controls (lock) files
pointed? They should all be set via the BDE config program to the
common directory where the files reside. If they are all set to a
local drive, this could be one cause.

We set the NetFileDir within the application. In the application it is set
to the same location on the server. Any other possibilities?

Thank you for your quick response.
