Is anyone using ODBCExpress, and what do you think of it.  Does anyone
know when version 2.0 will be available?

If I use ODBCExpress what files do I need to distibute if I am
accessing a Access DataBase?

        Never.  They have stoped development of it.

        Only the Access ODBC Driver.  All DB access routines
        are compiled into your exe.

They just announced in the last day or two that they were stopping
development of ODBCExpress v2.  See their website for more info.

Hi Trey,

We have stopped development on V2.0 - see our site for details.  But we
have just released V1.2 - check out all the new features on our site!

None!  ODBCExpress is a native VCL implementation which compiles
directly into your application.

Don't you need to distribute ODBC + Access drivers?

        ODBC Drivers, MS Access in particular, cannot be distributed to anyone
that does not have a license for it. So be careful with which ODBC driver
you may want to distribute with your application.

As a side note, MS Access drivers are only available through Microsoft, not
even InterSolv has rights to include them in their products.

I thought if you owned Visual Basic or Access you have the right to
distrubute the Access Drivers with your apps???

Not true.  If you as a developer have a valid licence for MS Access,
then you may distribute your application with all the necessary glue
(including the ODBC driver) - according to Microsoft.

1. Experience with ODBCExpress or DirectODBC?

I've identified two products that should allow me to connect to an
existing  Access database from Delphi 1 programs without using the
(apparently) dreaded BDE. However, I'm a real novice when it comes to
databases.

Hence, I could really use the benefit of others' experiences with
ODBCExpress and DirectODBC.. I say this because, with my lack of DB
experience, I fear I may waste a lot of time. Which do you prefer or,
at least, have you used one of them successfully? Without great
difficulty?

Anyone? Thanks

-Dennis
