Am part way through a little Delphi app. to do the job for Paradox tables ...
simple task to extend that to arbitrary databases using BDE native drivers
and/or ODBC as required. I'll contribute via TcX once I'm done, but it'll be
days away coz I'm buried under an e-Commerce nightmare project from hell at

Thanks,
