Can you be specific? What is the trouble?

It depends what you're doing. See this comparison I wrote:

SQL-based.

Right now, it's essentially dbExpress only.

Yes.

| Blackfish vv Interbase |

I've been using Desktop Interbase for 10 years of more, but am having
trouble getting deployment licenses for the latest (and only) Vista
compliant version.
Should I be changing to Blackfish?
What is Blackfish, is it SQL based or more like DBase/Paradox?
I presume I will have to change all my data accesses from IBX to
something different.
Is Blackfish seemlessly upgradeable to a client server environment?
Maybe there is some documentation somewhere that somebody could point me to.
Thanks in advance

Oh, also ADO.NET 2.0, if you're writing a .NET app.
