If I can offer one more piece of (off-topic) advice, when you're doing
Windows coding, I personally avoid ODBC unless I absolutely have to, for
speed reasons primarily. I'm not familiar with the Jet engine from
Microsoft, but the BDE from Borland outperforms ODBC by a factor of five or
more, as I imagine that DBI would as well (although I can't say for sure).
