Well then, from someone who once thought that Paradox files were the best
thing since sliced bread, you will not regret it, although you may well
find it frustrating at times.

I am not sure if you read my comments about changing from IB6 to FB1.5. I
have written and support a product that has over 1000 installations world
wide, running on IB. It has been distributed for about 4 years now. The
reason I chose IB was because of it's robustness - all of the users are
small operations that cannot afford a DBA or Systems Administrator.

I have NEVER had a complaint about IB/FB. Not about db corruption or
anything like that. It is extremely stable, especially when I compare it to
systems like MSSQL. Sure, all of the applications (in this case) are small
- single user systems, with maybe a few hundred meg as the largest DB size.
But it just doesn't break ... almost no matter how stupid the users are.

Regards

Tim
