Lee,

Thanks for pointing me at UIB. I�ve downloaded it and taken a look at the
contents of the .zip file. I see it includes a number of .dll files, and I�m
assuming, in the absence of any documentation, that one or more must be
installed on the PC on which the final application will run. Is this so, and
if so, which? I also see one or more .obj files and I�m again assuming that
one or more must be linked into the application. If so, which ones?

Regards,

Norman McFarlane

If you are going the wrapper route, take a look at UIB...
HYPERLINK
"http://www.progdigy.com/modules.php?name=UIB"http://www.progdigy-.com/modul
es.-php?name=-UIB

From the readme...

Why to use UIB ?
* You need a fast access to database.
* You need a threaded access to database.
* You want to use indifferently Interbase, FireBird or Yaffil.

Which version of Database are supported ?
* Interbase 6.00, 6.01, 6.02, 6.5, 7.0, 7.1, 7.5.
* Firebird 1.02, 1.03, 1.5, 2.
* Yaffil 1.0.xxx

Which version of compilers are supported ?
* Delphi 5.
* Delphi 6 & PE.
* Delphi 7.
* BCB 5.
* BCB 6.
* Kylix 3.
* FreePascal V1.9.x (Win32 & Linux).
* Other versions are not tested.

I am using it with Delphi 2006 (not officially supported, but I've had
no problems) and embedded FB 2.0.3.1298. Works great!
