hmmm. quite a crosspost first of all.

1.I don't know about BDE, all i know about the BDE
is that you really don't want to deploy it on clients
machines breaking all previous configs and slowing
down your app increddibly, use ADO. (native in D5
or use a component suite (adonis) rocks).

2.With ADO it is quite easy to access a microsoft
access97 DB, try experimenting by creating
datalinks (rightclick->new->microsoft datalink),
inspect the properties of the datalink, and i figure
delphi5 ADO should have some sort of connection objectm
paste that info into that.

If you chooose to use adonis for ADO, instead of
going for D5 (which i did) i can help you more, else
i don't know. haven't got D5 yet, dont' want D5 yet.

Goodluck!.
