I know this has probably been asked a number of times, so I would ask to be
directed to a website.
But which should I choose BDE or ADO or other?

To start i want to develop a application with the datasource on the local
hard-drive.
Then once developed and tested i want to create a multi-user application
with a central database some where on a network.
The application is for public distribution so the alias / connection string
must be dynamic.

With BDE i would use Paradox, Can Paradox be used as a client-server db
using BDE as the engine?

With ADO i would probably use Access, can ADO be upsized to SQL server
without changing the code?


Cheers Kris.
