Make sure you have your .dll files (fbclient.dll and/or gds32.dll) I had
that same problem and traced down to the wrong version .dll earlier in
the path, or using fbclient.dll to access Interbase 5.6 (works, but you
have to provide a computer name).. Of course, I have both IB5.6 and
FB1.5 installed and coexisting, so maybe that's not the problem.. Just
thought I'd suggest it.
