   isolated testing environment

   Hello all,   
   Our paradox database has grown well beyond it's initial plan and has become   
   unruly.  i'm stepping in to try to reign it in.  there has never been a   
   separate   
   test/dev environment.  i want to set up a separate paradox environment that   
   will be a copy of the production environment (at least initially) and i don't   
   want the two systems to ever be aware of eachother or interact.  Can i do   
   this and still have the two environments on the same LAN?   
      
   They won't interact with each other if they don't access the same data folders   
   or use the same WORK folder, am i correct?  I realize the BDE's talk to each   
   other and are aware of each other (how? by broadcast i assume) but i want   
   to be sure my test environment doesn't interact with the production.  Does   
   anyone have any tips, pointers, advice?   
      
   Thanks all, have a good day
