Probably you are using an old client library that's located in the System
directory. You need to use the proper client with Fb 1.5 and its default
name and location are not gds32.dll and the system directory. (fbclient.dll
is in the \bin directory of Firebird).

If you are using an old version of IBExpert it won't support
"fbclient.dll". Either update your IBExpert (newest version has options, I
believe) or run the instclient.exe program with suitable parameters to have
it build a lib called gds32.dll and place it in your System dir. For
instructions, READ THE DOCS. There's a how-to for instclient.exe in
..\doc\README.Win32LibraryInstallation.txt. The new homes are described in
the release notes.
