What version of Firebird are you using?

What does the connection string of your main application look like?

What is your application environment? What version? What edition?

Where did you get the IBEvents component?

You referred to this:

One says it doesn't work with either Firebird or IBX, the other says it
works with IB 6 but not with Firebird.

Neither mentions which version of IBX he uses. If it is the one that ships
on the CD with an older version of Delphi or CPPB, the events mechanism
never did work.

I can't say whether a later version *will* work. I can't even say *which*
version will work, although I know that Jeff Overcash got IBEvents working
at some point in the evolution of IBX. The older versions didn't work
because they were buggy. Conjecture: the newest versions might not work
with Firebird because of Borland's rumoured policy to make it **NOT**
support Firebird.

So - if you have eliminated the chance that you might have set things up
wrongly, it could be a case of trying IBX versions until you find one that
does work with Firebird. You can get the updates from Jeff Overcash's page
at CodeCentral.

A reality check could be to try the eval version of IB Objects or FIBPlus,
which DO support Firebird (version 1.0, 1.01 and 1.02 certainly, 1.5 Alpha
not known), and see whether you get the same problems then.
