Agreed. When moving to Firebird we changed all our booleans to T/F
fields. Just Create a tool that updates all your dfms.
Moving from BDE to a relational database is a BIG step. We use IBOjects
which has BDE replacement components that is very good. However you
would have to leave paradox behind at that point.
BDE SUCKS big time. Although I was AMAZED to read that CodeGear is
developing a BDE like replacement for a future Delphi !!!!!! I was
stunned. Obviously enough people still use the BDE to make this an
attraction.

The best advice I can give you (one that I ignored) is to replace all
(or most) of the tables with tqueries. The second bit of advice is to
not use the default transaction and ensure that you understand the
transactions as they are different to paradox. This applies to
firebird and interbase.
What you can do is to use a char field holding either Y/N or T/F.

I'm in the process of converting a significant application off
BDE/Paradox to probably firebird. I'm looking at methods for doing
this in a semi-automated way. I had thought a good interim step
would be to get the application running on BDE/Firebird via the
Interbase driver in the BDE. I'm trying to do this in a way that the
application can run on both paradox and interbase, but I have hit a
problem with a number of paradox boolean fields. Okay that's
probably enough background...
So my question is there a way to get a paradox/interbase field to map
to a TBooleanField on a TTable?
