Actually, I am quite sure of which client library is being loaded,
because I renamed the one I specified in my ODBC DSN to a different
name, and then tried to connect to the database with PowerBuilder,
and it failed, with a message saying it couldn't find the client
library. When I put it back to its normal name (fbclient.dll) it
worked find.

Having said that, I will try your process explorer suggestion, and if
it comes up with any contrary results, post again.

Thanks.
