Joe, though I'm sure others are more qualified to answer this, here is my
take. When you use IB/FB directly such as through IBX, IBO, etc., the
database engine is controlling everything based on each client's connection
status and it can keep everything separate. When you use the BDE, it is
controlling the access by controlling all transactions, etc. and then
communicating with the IB/FB engine. If the BDE mangles the information,
there is nothing that IB/FB can do about it. It only knows what's being sent
to it by the BDE.

This doesn't mean that it is happening in your case, just meant to explain
how it is possible. I've never heard of a similar problem from anyone,
though, so I can't point you in any directions. I don't use the BDE for IB
so the usual suspects are the only ones I'm aware of such as transaction
parameters, etc. but I have never seen the problem of crossing the data
between two users.
