Problem with ClientDLL

Post by WLE » Thu 28 Oct 2010 05:18

Hi,

I wasn't able to run a IBDAC-Client on a non-developing machine with Firebird (embedded) without "install" a gds32.dll. In help I found
IBCCall and GDSDLL, but my IBCCall doesn't have a GDSDLL....

How can I set the fbClient.DLL?

IBDAC 3.50.0.17 for Delphi 7

hm....

Code: Select all

  IBCCall.GDSList.FindGDS(CoraPath+'\fbclient.dll');
seems to work... Is this correct?

Hello,

You should set the TIBCConnection.ClientLibrary property to fbembed.dll. For more information please read the README_embedded.txt file in the \Doc directory.

Hi,

I uses this software with embedded FB and with FB Server. in both situations I use fbclient.dll (the name!!!) - this means I rename fbembed.dll to fbclient.dll - so I don't have to change the name in the exe.

And I must say sorry... yesterday night I set TIBCConnection.ClientLibrary to fbclient and I always get the exception that gds32.dll was missing... now it works...

maybe it was too late... :-)

Thank you....

It is good to see that this problem was solved.
Note that you can use fbembed.dll in the TIBCConnection.ClientLibrary property without renaming it to fbclient.dll.
