title: IDAPI , BdeAdmin and Windows 7
body: <p>After many months of postponing it, this week, I finally started using a new Windows 7 Professional PC for actual development (which is 90% still done in Delphi 7 with some of these programs still using the Borland IDAPI to access Paradox files). The previous development pc was still an XP-one.</p>
  
  <p>Every thing works except for one thing: somehow the settings of the IDAPI and BdeAdmin configuration files are messed up or they are read/written in different locations. To be more precise, it looks like two configuration files are active.</p>
  
  <p>It must have something to do with rights or settings being read/written in the wrong folder or registry setting, but after searching for it for a couple of hours, I give up.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone had any problems with this, before ? And if so, hopefully, has any one solved this problem ?</p>
  
  <p>Thx for any thoughts/solutions ...</p>
