Sourceforge and see if that works better. You can use the CVS web
interface on SF rather than a full CVS client if that's easier for you.

Thanks Dan:

The current 2.3.0.0 IBPP beta meets my needs just
fine. The IBPP::Database value is kept in a class
that includes a flag indicating the connection state.

Right now I'm mostly concerned that I can't see
recent posts when I use the steps described in IBPP's
web page.

I appreciate the effort that has been put into
Firebird and IBPP. My questions may try your patience
but I never forget how hard the development teams have
worked to deliver such a product, and at such a good
price.

I'm happy to contribute what I can. I don't have
much time, but I'm willing to be a crash test dummy.
I did find a problem MSVC6 had in the _xsqlda.cpp
file's GetVarNum() function. This code looks OK to me,
but MSVC wasn't dealing with it properly:
while (*p != '\0') *p = char(toupper(*p++));
I supposed that has been found and addressed by now,
but if I'd believed I could post to the IBPP support
group, I would have sent a notice about it.

I have a feeling people on the development team
know all the tricks. I'm trying to contribute the
perspective of the person who walks in off the
street with no inside knowledge.

Thanks
Larry
