Hello,

I run a application in windows'98 or Windows'95 without net. The
paradox tables are corrupted frecuently when the program is broken and
is closed with CTRL+ALT+SUP. Why? Configurate entries of register
system?
I use BDE 5.01
Thanks in advanced.

Especially when a NET FILE DIR is not defined and LOCAL SHARE is not TRUE,
Paradox will keep a lot of data in-memory for a long time. If the program
is "killed" it might never have the opportunity to write that data to disk.
Hence, file corruption.

This is one of the reasons why I recommend that both NET FILE DIR and LOCAL
SHARE should be set, even if there is no network.

It is the abnormal end you are doing causing the damage. You need to write
code that lets you better trap for errors so you don't get the lockups or
you need to learn how not to have that happen in interactive paradox if
that is where you have the issue. Hard to tell you exactly without more
info on what you are doing to "break" the program.

Also, with win 9x you need to turn off the write behind caching on
Windows.

I don't think he is using Paradox the Application.
