The best advice I can give you (one that I ignored) is to replace all
(or most) of the tables with tqueries. The second bit of advice is to
not use the default transaction and ensure that you understand the
transactions as they are different to paradox. This applies to
firebird and interbase.<br>
<br>
What you can do is to use a char field holding either Y/N or T/F.<br>

in the process of converting a significant application off BDE/Paradox
to probably firebird. I'm looking at methods for doing this in a
semi-automated way. I had thought a good interim step would be to get
the application running on BDE/Firebird via the Interbase driver in the
BDE. I'm trying to do this in a way that the application can run on
both paradox and interbase, but I have hit a problem with a number of
paradox boolean fields. Okay that's probably enough background...
<br>
<br>
So my question is there a way to get a paradox/interbase field to map
to a TBooleanField on a TTable?
