   No, 'usual' and 'corrupt tables' do NOT go with Paradox; not usually :-)

   Well, maybe.

   Huh?  That is NOT normal.

   What does this all mean?  Where does '20 characters' come from?   
      
   What kind of server was the old, and what the new?  Operating systems.   
      
   Full Paradox, or Runtime?   
      
   In the BDE Admin, what is 'Local Share' set to?   
      
   What operating systems do your workstations use?   
      
   How many workstations?

   Well, you said before that you were having problems with the old settings   
   (corrupt tables), so copying the settings may not have been the best path.   
      
   Can you answer the above?  Likely there will be others, and likely they'll   
   have MANY questions.   
      
   Bear with us, so we can get a picture of your setup/situation.
