You could also look at using a TObjectList instead of an array to hold the
stringlists.
It has the added advantage of freeing the objects when the list item is

If you're still having problems, have you looked at the Zeos components?

I don't use the webbroker architecture so correct me if I'm wrong but each
thread instantiates a new webmodule so putting it here may be safe but not
what you want if it is data that should be global.
If it is truly global data then make a global object to hold this and put

to install IB6 and use IBX components.

I would definately be setting the private dir to somewhere where you know
you have the right permissions. I have had similar problems with ISAPI using
BDE as well as non-BDE (DBISAM). Otherwise the first app may be OK, but it
or something else changes the current dir and the second app fails.
Just for fun, try increasing permissions on the c:\winnt\system32 dir - I
seem to recall some BDE issues with Win2k and this.
Gary would remember...
May even be linked with the session.privatedir setting especially if the BDE
is creating temp files during the query.

I recall using some stuff from dWinsock a few years back with Delphi 1, and
well we've done some simple testing and found under heavy load (muliple
threads - ISAPI) IBX works more reliably and slightly faster than either BDE

fairly simple selects, updates and inserts - no stored procedures etc.
