I have ADT tables I'd like to convert to DBISAM 4.25. I can't see any easy way of doing
it. Can you help?

Do you want to do so in your application, or just interactively ?  The
easiest way to do so interactively is to use the Advantage ODBC driver and
the DBISAM BDE Database Transfer Utility to do the transfer.  You simply
have to have a DSN defined for the Advantage data source, and then turn on
Auto-ODBC aliases in the BDE.  Then you'll see the Advantage DSN show up in
the list of source aliases in the BDE Database Transfer Utility.

You can also just use simple code like this for the data transfer portion:

There's also a sample batch move example here that does what you want:

but you'll have to change the source table declarations to TADTTable
declarations (and have the Advantage components installed also).
