If you are working with tables encrypted using the dBASE PROTECT command, you will need to:

Deploy the DBSYSTEM.DB file

Have an entry in your .INI that looks like:

 [CommandSettings]
 DBSYSTEM=D:\PATH

Where, D:\PATH, is the path to the directory where you are deploying this file.

If you already have a "[CommandSettings]" section, just add the "DBSYSTEM" entry.

If you are deploying the DBSYSTEM file to the same as your application, set this to "."

DBSYSTEM= "."  //the "." stands for "current directory"
