Hi All

Sorry if this is an old question.

I have an app that needs to connect to as many different databases as 
possible, I currently use ODBC api functions to enumerate tables and the 
like then I create a DSN and open it with a TQuery.  This works quite well 
but I still need to deploy the BDE.

So to my question, if I use ADO instead, can I still expect to connect to a 
wide range of DBs, can I easily enumerate tables, and most imporatantly, do 
I still have to deploy the BDE?

I also would welcome suggestions re other ways to do this or even third 
party components but I am always a little wary as I have wasted money on 
some very ropey components in the past, or where the vendor has gone belly 
up!

Cheers

Chris
