for starters you should use the ADO components, not BDE. Then google on Delphi and ADO and any number of tutorials will come up on how to get started. About.Delphi.com has a good one for sure.

I am trying to set up a simple program with database access and in the past I would have used a Sequel database, but this time I am trying to set up one using Access. It has been quite a few years since I wrote any code and I have come up against a BDE error 12550, Invalid Parameter. Can anyone offer assistance please?
