Yes - talk about evolution (survival of the fattest, LOL) - it was straight conversion of a very complex Internet developer management GUI that I did originally with the BDE and Access, later converted to BDE and InterBase and then, last year, converted to TIBO and InterBase. I dreaded what might happen to the Explorer, as the whole app runs out of this one component - the conversion took five minutes' search and replace in the DFM and PAS files and was up and running immediately - at mind-boggling speed. I've learnt a lot more about IBO since then, but that was the moment when I was hooked for real!

After that, I stripped out about 90% of the code handlers I had written, as well. I had been messing about with IBX, you see... <g>

Now cruisin' in TIBO and Firebird. :)
