You could create a set of ADO bindings using BindCOM
(http://www.adapower.com/com - there is an example already on using ADO
there) and then use Access databases or even Paradox databases. ADO doesn't
have licensing restrictions to create a problem for you and if it isn't
already on the machine there is a simple install package available off the
MS web site. I have used ADO for a number of projects and found the
performance was on par with other solutions.
