What to do about Paradox Lock Files
1.	There should be only one *.net file. It is in the directory c:\bhph\net. The file name is "pdoxusrs.net". There should not be more than one pdoxusers.net file. You can delete them when the database is not in use.
2.	Paradox leaves two lock files in various places. They are "paradox.lck" and "pdoxusrs.lck". I don't know what they are for, but they can be deleted when the database is not in use.
3.	If you are having problems with paradox on a network:
	a.	Shut down the EZ Auto Sales program.
	b.	Remove all the pdoxusrs.net and the two types of lock files from all the directories on the PCs involved.
	c.	Paradox will recreate the files its needs when you start up.
4.	When you start the BDE configuration click on Paradox to examine the NET setting. If you are on a network then should point to a network directory with full privileges.
5.	On each satellite PC, the BDE needs to be configured to point to the main PC. To do that, start the BDE Administrator at c:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\BDE\bdeadmin.exe.
	a.	When you start the program, you see two tabs on the left side. Click the Configuration tab.
	b.	If there is a plus before Configuration, click the plus to expand the tree.
	c.	Expand the tree before Drivers and under that, click the plus before Native.
	d.	Click on PARADOX. Notice on the right there is an item labeled "NET DIR".
	e.	Change the value associated with NET DIR to the net directory for the main PC (almost always \bhph\net). So if the main PC is designated by "m:", the NET DIR should be "m:\bhph\net".
