Not able to open Paradox database using Paradox data Editor

I have a .db Paradox file. When I try to open it using Paradox data editor Version 2.5.1.0, I get the following error "Network Initialization Failed. Permission deneid. File: C:\Program Files (x86)\PDE\PDOXUSRS.Net Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\PDE." Not able to Proceed. Please help...

Thanks, Sri.

Solution

  • This may not be a complete answer, but you need both read and write access to the PDoxUsrs.net file. Folders under C:\Program Files (x86) are typically write protected.

    Try to use the BDE administration/config utility to change the location of the "NET DIR" (under Configuration tab, in the "Configuration|Drivers|Native|Paradox" tree node) to a folder that you have full rights to.
