Hi Group,

I have a scenario where I need to know in my delphi application
whether the embedded dll is in the folder or not. I could not see any
version string that could indicate this. I was just going to look at
the file size and assume it was embedded if it was over 1MB, but I
thought there may be a better way to do this?

Background: (for those who think the guy is nuts for wanting to try)

The local connection used in Firebird does not work with Terminal
Services. This means that embedded Firebird can not be used within a
Terminal Server session. We have some places where the application
will be used within Terminal Services, and some places where it will
be run on a normal (2K/XP/etc) box. The application is a stand-alone
single user application. When it is installed onto a Terminal Services
machine, a 'real' (SS or CS) server will need to be installed, and the
database will be accessed via a localhost TCP loopback. When it is run
on a normal machine, it will be accessed via a local connection
through the embedded engine (so installing the FB service is unnecessary).

Basically, my delphi application needs to know whether to insert
'localhost:' to the start of the connection string or not.

Thanks

Adam
