Most of our code is RAD based (on top of the BDE), but I'm starting to refactor small pieces of it into testable objects, there is probably 100k lines of "legacy code" that I'm maintaining and I'm finding it too significant to manage in any reliable way. I've been studying up a bit and that's helping.
One project that I have been working on is to convert a BDE application to DBX, and I'm probably 80% of the way there - I've split the app into a client and a server - with no BDE related code in the client (it's a very fat client), next step is probably to use Richards DBX4BDE components to make the server running DBX over the BDE then just swap out the SQLConnection driver. Currently I'm stuck in the testing mode comparing the old version's behaviour to the new version (oh what joy) - but I digress....
