elevateDB?
thanks

There's nothing specific in the manuals, but the I think there's a migrator for the BDE which should work (edbmigratebde). Once the tables are converted into ElevateDB format everything else is very similar to converting from DBISAM eg

1. use global string change software to alter all TTable's to TEDBTable's, TQuery's to TEDBQuery's
2. Add engine, session, database components to appropriate forms and link together and with tables/queries
3. Check and alter sql as necessary (probably the single biggest step)

There's more of course but that's a reasonable summary.

Randy,

Roy is correct - use the BDE Migrator to move the data over, and then use
the DBISAM migration guide as a guideline to modifying the code accordingly:
