As far as I can tell, your only options are ODBC or ADO.  You don't need the
latest ADO version, but 2.5 (which is what comes with Windows 2000 and Me) is
probably the lowest level you want to use.

Whether or not you can easily do that with BCB depends on which version you
have.  BCB6 Professional has ADO components bundled in.  I believe earlier
versions required purchasing ADOExpress as a separate product.  I went
straight from BCB3 standard (which had database connectivity, something
Borland nixed in later versions) to BCB6 Pro.
