      From: dabhoiwala@no.spam.com              I would add two more ways to Liz' excellent summary:       3) Mark all *directories* as hidden. Sadly, Paradox does not like it       when the files themselves (db, fsl etc.) are hidden or that would be an       extra layer of .       4) Mark all *directories* as read only (but don't automatically cascade       that right down to all the sub-directories!).              When dealing with users, every little bit helps... :-)              On 24-05-2007 12:04 Liz McGuire wrote the following email:       > There are 2 ways to help avoid users deleting tables:       >       > 1) Use some obscure drive letter for your Paradox files and don't put       > any other files there and don't allow users to create files at the root       > of the drive.
