Re: OLE DB driver with Interbase

It relies on FBCLIENT.DLL, which is not on my system.
That is FireBird.

Thanks, that might be it then.

Any suggestions how to connect with this?

The web page has a "Contact Us" so i suggest emailing them.
And until you can regsvr32 the DLL (and it may be more than that is necessary for a OLEDB provider) then I dont think you will get anywhere.

Checking the DLL reveals that
(i) the necessary DllRegisterServer(), DllUnregisterServer() are present.
(ii) It relies on FBCLIENT.DLL, which is not on my system. That is FireBird.
So you might have to install FireBird ODBC first. Go to
