BDE config - spaces in database names??

Hi chaps and chapesses.
I've just reloaded Delphi 2 onto W98 and for some reason the BDE will
not recognise a file name with spaces in it. It was working fine
before on W95.

Anyone know why? Did I do something before to make it work?

Tks for any help.

I had the same problem *with* Win 95! If the database name, or the
path to it contained spaces it would not work so you would have to use
the 8.3 path/filename format. Update to a later BDE release, perhaps
this will fix your problem.
