Adam:

Thank you for your idea. I tried to use it but I suppose I am doing
something wrong because it doesn´t work. I read the file
"README_embedded.txt" but I don´t understand where do I have to place the
files to use the embedded server.

Now I have the following:

In the server PC:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\... {FireBird superserver
installation)
C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe (and other files not related with
FireBird)

In the client PC
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\... {FireBird client installation)

To run the application from the client PC, the user simply double clicks in
a direct access to the file MyApp.exe located in the server.

As I read in "README_embedded.txt", I have to put the files fbembed.dll
(renamed to fbclient.dll), icudt30.dll, icuin30.dll and icuuc30.dll into
the directory with my application, but my application is in the server and
sometimes there is a user who runs the application from the server. Do I
have to put these files in the server PC, in C:\Program Files\MyApp\?

In "README_embedded.txt", it also says that I have to put another files in
the same directory. I copy what this txt says:

c:\my_app\app.exe
c:\my_app\gds32.dll
c:\my_app\ib_util.dll
c:\my_app\icudt30.dll
c:\my_app\icuin30.dll
c:\my_app\icuuc30.dll
c:\my_app\firebird.conf
c:\my_app\firebird.msg
c:\my_app\intl\fbintl.dll
c:\my_app\intl\fbintl.conf
c:\my_app\udf\fbudf.dll

I am really confused. Can you please tell me which files do I have to put in
which directory in which PC (server or client)?

Thanks.

Gustavo
