When you set up the alias, make sure the net directory is pointing to the
network directory *.net file.

ie  F:\PARADOX\PARADOX.NET

Delete the *.LCK files if they have locked up tables, they will be regenerated.

have the exact same drive letter/path info.

If this is a peer to peer, then the machine that is serving as the
"Host" of the netdir must also map a drive to the location, so he
calls it by the same name as all the other machines.

Under 32bit BDE, the paths must map to the same location, but the can
be different logical paths to the same physical path.

Ensure that the NETDIR In the IDAPI.CFG file on each PC is set to the same
directory (preferably one on the server).

A good idea is to copy the IDAPI.CFG to the server and point everyone elses
machines to it. That way if you have change the aliases, you pnly have to
change them once.
