Lock file has grown too large - please help

Hi!
I have a problem with my Delphi 3.02 C/S
application using SQL Server.
I get an error message:
  "Lock file has grown too large"

What should I do to eliminate this problem?
What are the limits and where can I set them.

It seems that the problem occurs only on some particular PC.

Can anyone help?

Best regards,
M?rten Henrichson

Marten - try referencing the following borland/inprise tech article.  I
don't have any personal experience with this, but found it while stumbling
around on another issue.  Hope it helps.

Yes, it works, and removes the Lock File has grown error. But it will
also bring a new error, affecting your PrivateDir or Netfiledir to
be wrongly set.

I Have not tried to what the TI article says as
I find it a bit misleading.
The TI article says that the error msg:
"The lock file has grown too large"
should only affect Paradox-tables.
I am not using Paradox tables at all,
just BDE SQL Links to MS SQL Server.
