| Paradox uses the Borland Database Engine (BDE) which creates lock files to control user access to tables. Usually these lock files are added and deleted without a problem. However, if a Paradox program is terminated in an unusual manner or a computer is shut down in an improper manner, stray lock files are left and it can cause errors when restarting a Paradox application. An error message such as "Could not initialize BDE, directory is busy" might result. | |
