Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Still problem with DDEX (VS 2005) in FB Data Provider - complete

The solution from Robert Simpson is the only thing that worked for me.  Follow the steps on the blog as you've done, but use the registry file below (cut and paste it into a file provider.reg).  After pasting make sure to change the file path (if it's different from c:\program files\firebirdclient).
