I am happily using ADOExpress (purchased as an add on to D5 Pro)
with MSSQL 7 (and MSDE)
A few pointers
- Base your DB Access on Queries not Tables
- Dont try to simply use the Query, Table and Stored Proc as replacements
for the BDE components - they are diffent enough to trip you up i.e.
Terry,
BDE SQL Links to SQL Server is basically stuffed. If you must use BDE, go
the ODBC way - this way, you only need the professional version. As for
ADO, you don't need ADOExpress unless you want you use data aware controls
(who needs them?).
As for BDE/ADO, both work equally well (becaus
Why not just suck it & see - you can download a 3rd party ADO component set
like Adonis and try and see if it works for you.

You need iether ADO OR BDE/SQL Links. Take your pick - they are both
available in D5 Enterprise for royalty free use. You dont need both.
No doubt your Email will start yet another war aimed at both techniques on
the list. Fact is both work well. Just start using them. Both are fat
solutions.

Just one side point hereyou can always use ADo via the ADO COM object,
and not use the Borland components, BUT then ofcourse you cant use the
databound controls
