Hello Robert,

thanks for that informations. Now (at weekend) I tried to set VCE-datasources to FB.

But I'm not able to do so, because I have no file like FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll.

I installed Firebird via Firebird-2.0.0.12724-0-Win32.exe and the NET Provider via FirebirdNETProvider-2.0.1-RC1.exe. But I didn't find any files that could be a designer dll. Also I didn't find any suitable download on http://www.firebirdsql.org.

Could you give me/us further informations?

Thank you very much!

Juergen

To make Firebird work on Express, do this:

1.  Run REGEDIT
2.  Expand one of the following (depending on the Express Edition installed):
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VCSExpress\8.0
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VBExpress\8.0
3.  Find and expand the DataProviders key
4.  Find the key under DataProviders named "{7F041D59-D76A-44ed-9AA2-FBF6B0548B80}" and rename it (change one of the numbers in the GUID is the best bet)

5.  Going back to the root 8.0 section, find and expand the DataSources key
6.  Rename the subkey "{466CE797-67A4-4495-B75C-A3FD282E7FC3}" to something else (again just change one of the numbers).

7.  Copy this data to a .reg file:

----- Cut Here -----

and so on, especially:

"CodeBase"="%Path%\FirebirdSql.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll"
----- Cut Here -----

8.  Find and replace any occurance above of "VisualStudio" and replace it with either VBExpress or VCSExpress.
9.  Replace the %PATH% above with the full path to the Firebird designer DLL.
10.  Save and run this .reg file.

This will install the packageless version of the Firebird provider using the JET Guid's for Express.
