this Jet Access stuff - or just healthily cynical ?

I'd avoid Jet if I can - its basically Access, but I have no firm grounds
for that view - just a lot of comments from people who've been burnt.
I know it might be overkill, but as you seam to have Delphi 5 pro, why not
use Interbase 6.0 and the IBX stuff? its not a large app (like, 5 meg or
something to install), it can install silently (tho a manual install is "run
setup, click "next" a lot, wait about 20secs, continue on your way"), its
small-ish foot print (like, about 3 meg of RAM on my machine at the mo -
most I've seen under load is about 12-16meg), its excellent for local
(single user) use, full SQL support (most likely not needed), and is rather
reliable and fast. Just dont use TTables and .first(), .next() etc :)
and its free :)
Worth a look, I think.
