Getting offtopic, but never having used anydac, I'm curious about your reasons. The two reasons I could immediately appreciate from looking at their home page, was the ability to use different database servers (e.g. I cannot use IBO to connect to MS SQL Server) and the array DML (is it really possible to reach one hundred thousand rows per second with Firebird? I normally get less than ten thousand rows per second with IBO).

On the other hand, this question was originally about BDE/dBase to Firebird, and IBO does have a recipe for how to convert from BDE to IBO in a matter of a few seconds or minutes (albeit that is from BDE/<InterBase or Firebird> to IBO/<InterBase or Firebird> and doesn't include the bigger step of getting from dBase to Firebird). It seems like anydac has something similar, so Charlie has a fair choice.
