OK, here is where to start. SQL Manager is expecting to connect using the 32-bit client or the 64-bit client. Is SQL Manager a 32-bit or a 64-bit application? Either it is 32-bit and can find only the 64-bit client -- OR -- it is 64-bit and can only find the 32-bit client. The client is called fbclient.dll. So - if you installed the 32-bit server, the 32-bit client will be in the \bin directory of your Firebird installation. If you installed the 64-bit server then the fbclient.dll in the \bin subdir will be the 64-bit version. In that case, you will find the 32-bit client in the \WOW64 subdir, where SQL Manager cannot find it. If SQL Manager is 32-bit then you will need to copy the 32-bit client to somewhere SQL Manager can find it. The obvious place will be in the same directory as the SQL Manager executable. >I have done the install a number of times with no luck Have you tried connecting to a database using isql.exe, that is in Firebird's \bin directory?
