You can find several ISAM engines for QB4.5 at www.filelibrary.com in
the DOS/PROGRAMMING/BASIC section.  You have to register, but you get
10 megs worth of free downloading.  The best one I've seen is Bullet,
but it's a little different than most ISAM engines I've worked with.
Takes some getting used to.

If you want a serious bullet-proof database package which will work
with QuickBasic 4.5 or most any other compiler, try Btrieve from
Pervasive Software.  I wrote a serious multi-user inventory system
in 1987 using Btrieve, and have yet to reload the database because
of a database problem.  You tell Btrieve when a transaction begins
and when it ends, and if the program or system goes down while one
is in progress, the entire transaction is rolled back cleanly.  No
half-updated files or orphaned pointers.  Multiple multi-segment
keys, optional duplicate keys, data compression, etc.  Good stuff.

The PDS has a whole load of ISAM crap packadged with it, if you have access
to that
