I have developed an aplication in VB6 that uses a DB with Firebird 1.5 with ODBC and i have a few questions:

1) how can i do to manage the message of an exception with ADO?

2) how can i do to manage de errors messages of Firebird in my app?

3) i tried to compact de database using gbak (as i read in a FAQ - doing backup and restore), but it doesn't work. It looks like everything is fine with no errors in verbose mode, but the resulting file (for ex: MYDB.GBK) doesn't have a format supported by Firebird when i rename it to MYDB.GDB.

I must apoligize about my poor english!! ;)
