Thanks Helen.

The application in question won't be very interactive and I'm prepared to
handle the transaction control/concurrency issues by not using autocommit.
Paradox actually works pretty well as a C/S front-end - the only issue I've
ran into is that I haven't been able to do parameterized queries.

Unfortunately, we're pretty much committed to Paradox as a front-end due to
department politics for now.
