Hello,

On an install of firebird 64 bits (FB 2.1) when i call this :
on E:EIBCError do ShowMessage(E.SQLErrorMsg)

I have the message :
can't format message 13:198 -- message file C:\Program Files (x86)\firebird.msg not found

On 32 bits there is no problem

Thanks for help

Regards

Copy the InterBase.msg (or firebird.msg for Firebird) file to the folder where executable unit of your program looks for it ('.../program files (x86)/...'). File must have the same version as InterBase or Firebird. You can get it from the error message.

Thanks for the answer.
I understand what you mean but why IBDAC looks for the firebird.msg in the folder "program files (x86)" whereas firebird is installed in "program files"
(on a 32 bit windows there is no problem).
I am looking for a solution to avoid to create a special folder on the server's customers

Thanks

Regards

This message is generated not by IBDAC but by Firebird and this behaviour is specific to Firebird.
