Back in 1996, I developed an application using delphi 1.0 and the 16 bit DBE. At that time I had to support Windows 3.1. I'm having a lot of problems with corrupt indexes and headers and ouright data loss. I'm considering converting to Dephi 4.0 and the 32 bit DBE. Do you developers out there think that applications compiled with Delphi 4.0 using the 32 bit DBE are more robust and stable? Also, is component behavior (with their idiosyncracies) enough similar so that I would not have to go through a nit-picking debugging process? I would appreciate any opinions you may have.
Delphi/BDE 16 bit VS 32 bit
