I don't have this files with me right now.

Well, I have a freeware components (mOdbc) that talk to the odbc
directly bypassing the BDE (because I hate to distribute the BDE)
but it is made for 3.0 drivers, if you want this comps, just tell me.
Btw, I've managed to convince the author to release the source
code :)

The same happen here, all 3 party components want (or work better with)
dynamic scrollable cursors, I'm talking about odbc98
(http://www.odbc98.com) or OdbcExpress (http://www.odbcexpress.com),
but maybe I choose mOdbc.
