Hedley,

<< Ah... further to my previous ingenious idea... .NET uses UNICODE, I've
got D7 and I can't see any obvious way of making the EDBEngine connect to a
UNICODE EDBConfig file? >>

You cannot use the Unicode version of EDB with D7.  Borland didn't put out
full Unicode functionality at the DB level until Delphi 2006, when it
introduced support for Unicode CLOB (Memo) fields.

<< Is there a quick way of doing this in D7, or will I need to write this
utility in .NET? >>

You'll have to use .NET or BDS 2006 or higher.
