Shared memory conflict error

Question: When I launch my second BDE application I'm getting the error Shared Memory Conflict ($210D, 8461). How can I solve this? Answer: This error occurs when the memory location the BDE is attempting load at is being used another application. In most cases, this happens under Windows NT. When this error occurs you need to changed the Shared Memory Location in BDE Administrator. While it is theoretically possible that many different memory adresses exist that may resolve the problem, under Windows NT the address which we have found to always work in the past is 7000. If 7000 does not work try 7F00. For Windows 95/98, the best address to try is 1000.
