could you please explaine more : is creating and OLE DB provider will lead me to write my DBMS drive . also i don't get u when you said : But frankly, I wonder why you are reinventing the wheel...? many thanks> OLE DB is the interface between ADO and the actual database. The OLE DB Provider implements ADO access to a particular DBMS. It's beyond the scope of the e-list to elaborate on this, so I refer to the MSDN documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms722784.aspx I talked about reinventing the wheel since there are already so many DBMS systems around and BDE is quite outdated. So, why do you want a BDE enhancement? I assume it is not to access one of the commonly available databases, like Oracle, Firebird, SQL Server, etc. Maybe it is to access paradox with a better SQL implementation that Local SQL? You can use ADO with the Microsoft Jet Engine for that (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326548).
