  <p>These days our client keep encountering the BDE issue with error code $2501 when trying to open two instances of application share the same alias</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2501)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But if close one of them, or just open one instance, the issue's gone.</p>
  
  <p>And I've try to configure the SHAREMEMSIZE &amp; SHAREMEMLOCATION, but with no luck the issue still there.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea to get around it?</p>
