CD-ROM Database with Paradox

This has to do with the lock file, I believe. But I can't find the document
(if any) in the TI's or FAQ's that talks about this. Someone more familiar
with Paradox than I will have to step in and answer the question.

Re:CD-ROM Database with Paradox

I have a set of paradox .db files I have burned to a CD-ROM. However,
when I try to access the database I get several errors, pertaining to
file not found, and permission denied. I have gathered that it is trying
to write temporary files to the cd, and cannot. Does anyone know of a
way to direct these temp files to another locaion.

Thanks

The relevant TI is TI3104. I got this from a help file of all Delphi TIs
compiled 9/28/97 by Ken Hale at http://www.dcalcoda.com.

Re:CD-ROM Database with Paradox

I also have memo fields in the table. It seems that thememo fields write out
their own temp files. The message I get is:

"Invalid Parameter.
Unknown internal operating system error.
File d:\_qsq2.mb
Table d:\_qsq2.mb
File or directory does not exist.
File d:\_qsq2.db"

The qsq file ueses a unique name each time it is run. I trapped the qsq2 file
and included it. It they tried to create a qsq3 fiel and so on.

Any advice?
