"BDE eXpress for Vista" installs an adapted "Borland
Database Engine" (BDE) to acces Paradox- und dBase-
Datenbases under Windows Vista. Integrated tool to
backup databases and upgrade to the vista compatible
data format Paradox 7.

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 don'nt know that he's 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 there's 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 is'nt made for "Windows
Vista" specific environment conditions. This does'nt
mean that BDE is'nt a professionel database system.
Well installed on Windows Vista the BDE runs as
confidential as ever on other Windows systems.
