Hi,

In W95 I can run multiple Delphi 2 BDE applications
simultaneously.  When trying to do that in NT WS 4.0
I get BDE Error $210C.

How can avoid this and enable to run several different
BDE applications together...?

Thanks for any tip

Now, that sounds familiar... :-)

I remember having problems with CGI apps, it seems that when I
ran a BDE app in a different user context while another BDE app
was running on the console (which is typically the situation on
a CGI developer's machine) it would fail while attempting to
load the database drivers (which is what the BDE error means).

I solved that particular problem by upgrading to the latest
BDE version (3.5?) which I found on Borland's site (www.borland.com).

Another thing worth checking out is the registry entry which
indicates where the DLLs are located:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\Database Engine
make sure that CONFIGFILE01 and DLLPATH only contains one entry (entries
are separted by ';'). This can happen when installing other apps
that use BDE into separate directories and earlier BDE versions didn't
much care for that situation (I doubt that has changed).

Ah, enough blabbing, I'll leave ya to it.
