Why dont you use Firebird (open source (improved) version of Interbase
6.0)? It is licence free and is an awesome database (stable, fast,
very low maintenance, powerful) I think it is better than SQLServer on
all those grounds. Delphi has components that connect natively
(Interbase tab) so you don't need the BDE at all. I use it all the
time and find it to be rock-solid, reliable and very fast. You can
import all the FoxPro tables easily enough.
