Why not use Access + ADO as your embedded database? It only adds a single interface file to your app (if using native ADO access) or a few internal Borland files like ADODB.pas when using the TADOxxx components. If your client has IE 5.x or Win2K installed they will already have ADO installed

This is and interesting point - how do other access methods SQL DBMS handle surrogate key generation - ie how do they relocate the record they have just inserted Very easily - they all fail. You have to write special code to get the generated primary key value back from the server.
