If u get the following  Error, you can solve these with following steps

Borland Delphi, BDE, Paradox Databases, Windows 7

Windows 7 can be very restrictive towards applications written for the previous versions of Windows. This is the case with the Borland Database Engine (BDE), which is not capable of running in Windows7 unless two settings have been changed:

1.A permission for the BDE must be given in the windows registry database.

2.A BDE attribute named “Net Dir” must be configured to an arbitrary folder other than the root drive (C:). This configuration is done in the “BDE Administrator” program that’s installed with the BDEInfoSetup utility.

1. First, configure the permission for the BDE in the registry…

Make sure you are logged into your Windows7 machine with an administrator account. Then follow these directions:

1.Go to Start | Run… Type regedit…

2.Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch.

3.Open the SOFTWARE branch.                                                        

4.Right-Click on the entry labeled “Borland”.

5.In the menu that shows select Permissions. The following dialog will appear: 6.              Click “Users”.

7.Under “Permissions for Users “, select “Allow” for Full Control. Then click OK.

8.Click OK to exit the Registry Key Permissions dialog box.
