houh, hough, hough... brrrr. please accept my apologies for stealing your time.
I remembered that I can also make a "trace" of ODBC calls, something that Mr. Tsvigun once used to find and eliminate a problem in the driver (around 2004). While trying to create the trace I saw that, for whatever reason I'll never understand, I had installed an outdated ODBC driver on this machine. Re-Installing .152, all seems to work fine. Please excuse me for the trouble. Will you come to Luxemburg this year? There are so many guys here I am owing a round of best czech or belgian beer for all the time I'm stealing from them, one more won't matter :-) > Hi, > Tell in-depth information how to reproduce your problem please. > On 20.03.2013 17:28, André Knappstein wrote: >> Hi Gang! >> >> Is there a known technical reason why I can open literally any ODBC >> driven data source in MS Word (2007 and higher), but *not* Firebird? >> >> Do I have to make any settings which escaped me so far, or will it >> just not work or is the problem widely unknown so far?
