Hi Helen,

Personally I am fine with that - I am not using Vista ;)

My software uses embedded Firebird (fbclient.dll) and obviously it's
installed in the Program Files\.
That's why firebird.log appears there..

OK, I've found something - seems, this file is created only when "embedded
server" client library is used to connect to remote server. It will not be
created if "client" client library is in use.
I'd think that both client and embedded libraries should behave identically
when they used as clients?
