   Bertil, hello.   
      
   I just now reset the .net dir path to C:\ in the BDE Administrator and it   
   went fine. I didn't run multiple copies, I would have needed to change   
   the priv directory to do that.   
      
   I believe the root problem was the failure to save the edited data into   
   the existing alternative configuration file (pandora).   
      
   Rereading the bde help it is not that helpful. Specifically the 'colour   
   coded symbols' do not appear until after you have made an edit and then   
   hit 'Enter'. You then get a green arrow up and the 'Apply' icon lit up.   
   Nowhere is this procedure described.   
      
   Regards   
   Anne
