BDE eXpress for Vista is a software that installs a modified BDE to access Paradox and dBase databases on Windows Vista. It includes a backup tool and enables upgrading to the Paradox 7 data format compatible with Vista.
If you need to access Paradox and dBase databases on your Windows Vista computer, BDE eXpress for Vista could be the solution for you. This software installs an adapted version of the Borland Database Engine (BDE), created by Borland Inc., which is an interface to access databases.
The BDE is widely used by many programs, but it is not compatible with Windows Vista by default. When you try to run a program that uses BDE on Vista, you may see an error message saying "Error initializing the Borland Database Engine." This is not a fault of the software, but rather the lack of compatibility with the new operating system.
With BDE eXpress for Vista, however, you'll have a compatible version of BDE to access your databases. Additionally, the software includes a tool to backup your databases and upgrade them to the Paradox 7 format that is compatible with Vista.
It's important to note that the BDE is a professional database system, but it was not designed specifically for the file access and user rights changes that were introduced with Windows Vista. Nevertheless, when BDE is properly installed on Vista, it will operate just as smoothly and confidentially as it does on other Windows systems.
