BDE eXpress for Vista 2.0

The Borland Database Engine (shortly BDE ) is an interface of the company Firma Borland Inc. to access databases. It provides the access to well known databases as dBase and Paradox.

A lot of well known programs are using the BDE. Normally the user donnt know that hes using the BDE. But if he try to run the same program unter Windows Vista appears the message
" Error initializing the Borland Database Engine". At this moment it is obvious that not the software is bad but theres no compatible instalation of the BDE for Windows Vista present.

With "Windows Vista" Microsoft introduced a lot of changes egarding the file acces and rights of users and programs.

Per default the original BDE isnt made for "Windows Vista" specific environment conditions. This doesnt mean that BDE isnt a professionel database system. Well installed on Windows Vista the BDE runs as confidential as ever on other Windows systems.

"BDE eXpress für Vista" itself is'nt a database. It provides the BDE interface for other applications under Windows Vista.
