Hi,
I am trying to install Paradox release 3.0 on our network, without
much success and I was hoping somebody out there might be able to help
me.
The problem is as follows: the network I am trying to run from is
MS-Net (Microsoft Network), which is not mentioned in the installation
manual, but is supposed to be NetBios compatible. The installation
proceeds without problems, but when I try to start Paradox I get the
following error message after the screen shows the opening picture:
'Can't start Paradox: unable to record lock/unlock g:\tdr\PARADOX.NET.
You may have insufficient access'
g: is the network drive I installed the data files on. (Paradox itself
is on the e: network drive). I checked the access rights, both on the
Unix server and from a PC workstation and changed them to the widest
possible access. From the DOS prompt I can delete or otherwise
manipulate the PARADOX.NET file, and while starting up a new one is
created in the g:\tdr directory, as expected.
Borland Sweden is unable to help me and say that maybe Borland US can be
of some assistance, but that will take weeks and I haven't got that long.
Has anybody ever installed Paradox on a MS-Net network?
Is anybody from Borland on the net?
Thanks for your time,
--
