   Both systems need to configure to use a   
   ** shared netdir ** in the ---> BDE.   
      
   Unless you use the same netdir, the BDE will prevent the second one into   
   the table (directory) from accessing it.   
      
   NOTE:  The paths used to the netdir must be EXACTLY THE SAME in both   
   instances of the BDE.   
      
   NOT resolved to, but EXACTLY THE SAME, CHARACTER FOR CHARACTER.  You CAN   
   get away with a different drive letter, but that is the only difference   
   allowed.
