ODBC-ing my app

I have a perspective customer who will buy my product
if I ODBC it. He's very DataBase savvy but wants to use
his own DB... not my Advantage DB.

I'm running D5... I don't even see the ADO component tab.

Is this a big job?
Is D5 ADO usable by today's DBs?
Should I move up to D7?

Are there any questions I've forgotten?

Thanks.
Craig.
