I am making a small database application that keeps tracks on incoming and
outgoing calls. All information is stored on a network drive in a single
table (paradox 7).
There are three users that has the .exe installed on their computer. But
only one user is allowed to start the program. If one user has the program
up, the others will receive an error stating that "directory controlled by
other .net file" when trying to start theirs. What could be wrong?

All replies greatly apreciated!!!!!  

In order for these tools to work, the bde needs to utilize a ".net" file to maintain
file information (locking, etc). Use the bde administration utilities (bdeadmin.exe in
the newest versions) to make sure that the .net file is where you think it is (config
/drivers). Also make sure that all users are accessing the same version of the bde.
These are registry setting & there used to be a nifty delphi application on the
Borland web site to assist with this.

good luck

You must set the NetDir parameter of the Paradox driver to the same path on
all machines using the BDE Administrator.  See TI2989 at
