[DUG]: Passing the Time

[Mark Howard]

OK Jeremy, I'll take up the challenge.   I have an app that I wrote a couple of years ago using D3 Pro based on Paradox tables. There are now 18 sites around the country mostly single user but 7 have up to 5 users. Database sizes range up to around 10 Mbytes.   Reading between the lines, on this user group, it sounds as if Paradox's days may be numbered - not in the near future - but maybe in 5 years or so.   The future direction of my market suggests that I will come under increasing pressure to provide remote access to central databases - but for low numbers of transactions. Also the need for my clients to be able to send each other datasets filtered from their databases is on the increase.     Given that I am (and will always be) a newbie programmer, should I be looking at moving this app to     Interbase or    ADO or something else or leaving it in Paradox for now?   What are the Pro's and Con's of each alternative?   Over to you!   Mark
