Quick question... I've developed an app that used the BDE for connecting to a MSSQL database. Once we released the software, it was fouling up on 80% of the computers it was installed on, even though it worked on every Windows OS that I tested it on :) I decided to switch to ADO, and the application runs fine. My question is this... Which versions of Windows need which versions of MDAC and possibly even DCOM? The app ran perfectly on Windows XP (MDAC 2.7) after installing the Borland patches for ADOExpress. However, in Windows 2000, I had to download MDAC 2.7... How about the other versions of Windows? What do I need to include in the installation? Is there anything else I should watch out for? I'm new to this stuff, so I'm a little blind right now to what could go wrong. Any help would be great! Thanks! Eddie
