[John Richard Procter]

Error Initializing Borland Database Engine (BDE)"$251E" when starting Topaz on XP or 2000

Right click on the Topaz.exe and select Properties.
Disable the 'Run in compatibility mode'.
This is what is causing the problem on windows XP or 2000.

If you are running XP and the drop-down does not have XP
as an option, select 'Windows 2000'.
