Hi all

I appreciate all the good answers to some difficult question.

I have a system using a Paradox table database written in 5.x.
We are linking my system to another...this will involve simple and safe
data transfers
once per day.  The guys who wrote the other package are using Intebase.
They requested me to transfer my tables to Intebase and assured me that
I will
not have to change any code???  My system is running fine on a Paradox
table and I
will not port my older clients to Intebase ,yet if it is as easy as they
said - I can easily
support a Paradox and a Intebase system.  What I have to avoid is having
two sets of
code - or to have to test and debug for both systems.

What is your thought about this.  Will I just be able to port my Paradox
table to Intebase
and the app will work or will i have to change code.
And if i have to adopt a different coding style, will I then have to
test it on Paradox and Intebase.
I believe there are many issues involved in this and are hesitant to
jump in and start working.
I also believe that for them to export to a paradox table won't be too
bad.

Thank you for helping me out
