LOL! So true!
Our VB6+Access system is deployed at over 250 franchises. We have
constant database corruption, or people "accidentally" deleting the
MDB file on the network share etc... This is why I said in my earlier
message "hopefully not for too long".
We are slowly but surely converting those franchisees over to our new
system which is developer with FPC+fpGUI+tiOPF2 and Firebird RDBMS. A
MUCH more robust system than before!
@Original Poster
I never even touched on database connectivity in my earlier message.
With Firebird there are many database access component to choose from
(IBX, SqlDB, FBLib etc..), and Firebird is fully cross-platform
enabled (unlike MS-Access or MS SQL-Server), so you can deploy it on
Windows, Linux, Mac etc..
