You can configure the EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_DIRECTORY in the ibconfig file on your server explicitly to directories where UDF libraries are located. You can have one or more locations, just make one entry per location and Firebird will search them in order:

EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_DIRECTORY "c:\Program Files\firebird\udf"
EXTERNAL_FUNCTION_DIRECTORY "f:\fb_funcs"

.. as needed. Double-quotes on paths are required.

(But FB should already know about the \udf subdir, if your INTERBASE environment variable is correctly set up to point to your Firebird root directory. Strange otherwise...).

cheers,
Helen
