Paradox database on CD don't work without setup

My software (I used D5) and database (Paradox tables) work well on HD,
even when I set the files to read only. Naturally I set my TDatabase and
TTables to "read only" and "exclusive use". When I put all files
(software & database) on a CDROM, I get an BDE error like "no memory
left on HD". It seems as if the BDE standard driver uses memory in
directory of the sofware ore database. How can I solve this problem? I
don't like setups, when there is no need.

You're going to have to put a directory lock in each of the data
directories on the CD.

Hi Martin,

look into the Downloads Section (Help Files) of the Delphi Pool at

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/lmc/dpool.htm

There's a help file called cd.zip, which covers the topic of distributing
Pdox tables on CD in detail.
