I've spent over 40 minutes total with Borland techs and have done *ALL* the above and am STILL having the same problem. I'm using the NET DIR properly and the PDOXUSRS.NET file is in the proper location. Yet, I still see that message on the workstation. The workstation can call up the appropriate drives on the server and all is well in that regard. Does it make any difference as to whether I am using the DESKTOP edition of Delphi? It should also support multiuser databases, correct?

Two seconds ago, I was working in Delphi, when I saw a panel with align=alClient, and I remembered this remark. Does this also cause the same problem? There many cases where a client aligned control is used.
