Thanks - my thoughts, perhaps, was if someone with experience on BDE 
could give some light here :-) - I'm not a BDE expert myself; that's why 
I'm looking for help.
BDE is some kind of "obscure" technology - it needs some special 
drivers, and I honestly don't know if it will work with pure ODBC. Even 
with Oracle, I had trouble because I've to install those software in 
certain sequence otherwise drivers are not added to Windows registry (I 
hate it).
I appreciate your insights and your time.
