Thanks Trevor - I've located the embedded server zip file and read the instructions and it still doesn't work, but I'll get there. I'm sure it's just a matter of having the right file(s) in the right place.

Cheers,
Phil.

You can replace gds32.dll with fbembed.dll (as long as you rename it of

fully functional server for *local* databases.  I'm sure that ibphoenix.com
has some further instructions, but AFAIKR that's all you need.

Damn, I was afraid of that. Is there a way to embed it inside another 
installer? What are the issues with user rights?

Yes, you need the firebird engine/server on the machine that 
physically holds the database.

Out test machine is complaining about "unavailable database" when I try 
to connect to a local firebird file. I had a read of the firebird 
"Quickstart Guide" which mentioned I needed two files, gds32.dll and 
fb32.dll for a client install - I can only find the first one on my 
machine. Am I missing something here? The client machine doesn't need to 
connect to a server - just a local file. Do I still have to install a 
firebird server as a service on the client machine to connect to a local 
file? I *am* missing aren't I?

Phil.
