The API manual (from the IB6 Documentation) is written for
C-Programmers (not C++).

Writing the declare statements for the functions from ibase.h is
straight forward in most cases. But, VB cannot call functions declared
as "ISC_EXPORT_VARARG" since there is no option to select "cdecl"
calling convention - VB does require stdcall conventions. For this
reason you presumably cannot write an Firebird-Driver in VB language,
since "isc_start_transaction" is a VARARG function.

I would assume that you need only few functions - but
"isc_start_transaction" is one of them.

If you really do need an import tool for an single table only I would
assume it to be more cost-efficient for you to hire someone to do this
small job than to learn the required skill to do the job. I would
assume that an simple import-utility written in C should be ready
within a day.
