I am looking to use Delphi V5 with MS SQL 2008, but I cannot seem to find a database driver which will allow me to do it.
Currently the only way I can get it to work is by;
Upgrading to Delphi V6/7
Moving to Delphi.net
Using SQL 2005 instead.
However I would prefer to leave Delphi 5 in place as I am having enough problems changing over my database.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this working?
I haven't actually tried this with Delphi 5, but it has worked for every other IDE/Language that I've ever used so it would shock me if you couldn't just use the standard MS-Windows ODBC drivers on whatever client system you're using.

What also works on almost every database is Delphi 5 ADO (ADOConnection, ADOTable etc) toghether with an ODBC data source. I have D5 aps running that way on Oracle, Sybase, MS, Firebird DBs.
just to mention, I have downgraded from Delphi 7 to Delphi 5.
