Im severly intellectually challenged in the zen of
borland/paradox/delphi bde, and which versions of which can access
which!!

specifically....

I've got a delphi 1.0 app, grabbing a paradox table on a novell net that
was created using the borland data desktop v 5.1 (which came with delphi
1.0).... and when I try to run the 1.0 executable on a W95 machine (that
has version 3.0 of the bde configuration utility vs version 2.5 on the
machine i used to compile the code) I get the following:

Exception EDataBase error. An error occured while attempting to
initialize the bde (error $2108)

I't probably something stupid I've forgotten... but I can't find this
error code in my documentation AND ...probably more importantly, I've
got to get a better understanding of the potential pitfalls
mixing/matching versions of the bde stuff  (already got bitten badly
trying to modify a table originally created in an earlier verson with
the new one with paradox 7 on this W95 machine...but thats another
story!

thanks for any help
