Another point: I now wish we had never used the BDE but at the time !4
months ago), FIB was not as good and IBO seemed to complex. The main
problem I find with the BDE is that a connection is a database is a
transaction. FIB and IBO seperate the transaction from the connection -
eg, you can have multiple connections per trannie.
Switching the bde with IBO or FIB is probably not too hard as they both
have dataset components.

Peter,
On a tangent to your query, what benefits do the FIB components offer over
IBObjects, and where can I find them. We're getting our Interbase
installation set up for testing this week.
