Re: Error Message [Office 2007 & BDE]

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the followup and glad to hear that the first part seems to be working.

Sorry, a significant typo on my part in "E."
\ParadoxUnit should have been
\Paradox\Init and I left out a tier :(

Please keep in mind that these are user workarounds, and MS is still testing <g> :( It's not clear if this will affect any of the
MS app functionality.

This should be more helpful for 'E.'

E. For each of the following add 2 new string values

HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Drivers\Paradox\Init
Add: new String value 'DLL'
Add: new String value 'DLL32'
leave the 'value' settings for those strings blank.

HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Drviers\DBASE\Init
Add: new String value 'DLL'
Add: new String value 'DLL32'
leave the 'value' settings for those strings blank.

If those added entries already exist then it may be helpful to
change

HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\DBASE
to
HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Microsoft DBASE

Please post back with your results. As I'm hoping you're running the Beta on a 'test machine' it may be helpful to test the
resiliency of these entries if after making the changes you

(1) Export from RegEdit the keys you changed. (probably a good
thing to have anyway at this point <g>)

(2) Set a restore point, then run Office Diagnostics from
Start=>Programs=>Microsoft Office=>Microsoft Office Tools
to see if it does again break the entries.
If it does, you'd need to manually make the entries again
or reimport the keys you saved in step 1.

Please use Start=>Search to locate the Offdiagreport.cab file that Office diagnostics creates and email it to me.

Bob,
You people are great!! The fix worked. I have a question about the E. part
of the fix. My registry doesn't show
"HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Drivers\ParadoxUnit" mine
only has the following folders
1. HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Drivers\INIT
2. HKLM\Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\Drivers\Table Create
do I need to add the missing HKLM\Software\Borland\Database
Engine\Settings\Drivers\ParadoxUnit
Thanks again for your help.
Mike>>
