>It compiles to native code now run time DLL files. If you need database support then you have to ship and configure the Borland Database Engine (BDE). There are other VCL tools out there to support reading and writing DBF tables but they don't have Currency or DateTime as well. But with them the database engine is compiled into the app. It is fairly easy to write apps. However, I miss all of the inherent xBase language. I would say it would takes a lot more time at this point to build a database app using DBF files. It does support Paradox tables quite well but they have their own problems for real apps. I haven't touched any SQL work with it yet so I don't know about that.

Do the control bind to ADO recordsets?
