Delphi 4.02, BDE 5.01, Novell 5 and "Invalid file name"....

Hi,

I have a problem with a client site running Novell 5. Our app. generally
runs on 9x/NT servers but this particular client would like the apps. tables
to reside on his Novell server. The problem occurs when trying to open
tables with spaces in the table name. For example:

opening "Sites.DB" is okay

opening "CF Area.DB" fails with "Invalid file name".

The actual table names display correctly in explorer, I.e. with the spaces
and long filenames. The curious thing is that Database desktop can open the
tables with spaces no problem.

I have seen similar problems in other newsgroups, but this was caused by an
old BDE version (<3.5 i think). Has anyone had similar problems?

Kind regards,

Wayne Robshaw.
