Arthur - good question - but I have had issues with Access in the past.
Maybe it was me - but I would be worried about choosing this.

Pardon me for jumping in but as an enthusiastic user of Access's mdb
database files, I'm very interested in learning what issues you have
experienced and would greatly appreciate if you could elaborate as what
happen, were you using Delphi's ADO support and what vintage Access.

Many thanks...



Hello

Not a problem. Exactly what I was using was a while ago - so I am not
positive. It was with D3 - I was using the BDE at the time. The access
was slow (probably because of the BDE layer) and it didn't seem to
handle the large number of inserts without issues (I honestly can't
remember exactly what they were now - but I would get messages from
access about problem with the inserts after about 300,000).

My issue then as it is now - is that I want to support both the local
and the Relational DB with the same code - so I end up using a layer of
abstraction (whether it be BDE or something like dbEXpress).

Does that help?
