   I wonder if this would fix the syncornization between the registry and the   
   Paradox configuration file. I have had cases where I have had to make a   
   change to the BDE to get other changes to show up.Seems like th eregistry   
   and config file get out of sync and the change makes them get back in sync.   
      
   Just a thought.
