I would go with Paradox for as long as possible. 600 000 records is going to start to get "choppy" for Paradox, despite the the ability to handle up to 1 million records. If you are happy with the performance, then leave everything alone. The minute you decid to get a Server, or, the Paradox performance is not adequate, go to something like InterBase, MySql, and then MS SQL, perferable in that order. 1 - Interbase has got a fairly small foot print, and is a very robust DBMS. It is also inexpensive. 2 - MySql because it is free, and also has an average size DBMS engine. IT should not eat up too many resources on your computer. 3 - MS Sql because, well, let me think about that some more ...:-) Good Luck, Nick Borland Forever ...
