to be honest, that much of a re-write should have used a different
front-end, and left paradox for good.. as wonderful as it is/was, it's a
dead platform..
also, bear in mind in your situation that the BDE (the engine driving it
all) has also been dead for five years.. using any internal SQL Link -
ODBC
driver will usually be an interface with a very old version of your
platform, with many black holes.. and quite possibly the same result, the
other way around, because ost companies aren't maintaining and updating
their links to the BDE, either..
