I'm currently working on a project that's using Clipper tables (I think
the same as dBase files, right?) and the other developers have decided
to use 3rd party data access tools instead of the BDE because they claim
that the BDE will not work with these tables and specifically doesn't
support ntx type indexes.  Can anyone comment on this?  I thought the
BDE worked fine with dbase tables.  Thanks...

        BDE does not support the Clipper NTX index right out of the box,
although Delphi will be able to open the database since Clipper DBF's are the
same as dBase.  Without the use of the index files, I don't see that would be
of much use....
        There are serveral third party products that will allow Delphi to
have full Clipper index compatability, one I particularly like is Apollo for
Delphi from Luxent software.  Check them out on: http://www.gosware.com/
