ADO is good way and does not need BDE. However there is only one OLEDB
provider for MySQL and as I know it does not work good with newest releases
of MySQL. For MS SQL Server, MS Access ADO is OK. For flat file you will
need OLEDB provider (or use MS Jet (it is the same as MS Access) that could
work with text files, as well as Excel files).
