   I think your task is much bigger than just creating a form that filters your   
   data.   
      
   1) You have a database   
   2) You want to be able to distribute/sell it to "anyone"   
   3) You don't have an interface to the database   
   4) You are not a programmer   
      
   You have a big task in front of you.   
      
   If you are not doing this to make money I'm pretty sure the best would be to   
   "publish" your data on the Internet with a web-site. This will probably   
   involve moving the data from Paradox tables to another format and then   
   creating an interface with php, asp or .net.   
      
   If you are going to sell your application do be used on other PC's, the   
   runtime version of Paradox might be a solution, but it will sure take some   
   work to design a good interface, create an install package, handle issues   
   with Vista, etc, etc.   
      
   Either way you must learn a lot or get help from someone.   
      
   Sorry to be so negative...
