I'm just starting development on converting my Delphi apps to using the new
Access 2000 database (.ADP) which I want to run under MS Sql Server 7.0 as a
direct connection (without ODBC, etc.) Neither Delphi nor Microsoft postings
and web searches have turned up much. (There are some support articles in
Access/VB Office Advisor magizine but nothing on Delphi) My questions are:
- Is there some sample code/guidelines to do this?
- Are there any test data of performance of Access 2000 vs. a SQL Server
native database?
- Does Delphi 4.0 support the ADO?
- Is a local engine required to make the connection? i.e. the BDE, etc.
Any suggestions are appreciated and will be forward to the newsgroup.
Thanks.

Yes.  And there are free components on the Delphi Super Page as of the
15th that will let you do it.

No BDE with the ADO components mentioned above.

You might also want to take a look at the new MSDE thingie from
Microsoft.  A free, redistributable, cut-down version of MS SQL 7

Just import the ado type library into your project, no other components needed
then.....
