Jim,
It is my opinion that you should maintain the same operating system on your
laptop, to make sure that your work is compatible between office and home.
Since ADOExpress works on the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components suite),
if the MDAC version is different on the machines, you may face problems.
Usually MDAC version is different across different versions of Microsoft
Windows operating systems.
Also Microsoft's home suite of operating systems (like Windows 98 and
Windows ME) are usually not well suited for professional development.

Borland technical experts may be able to give you a better answer. This is
just my opinion.
