Werner, thanks for reply. I will try fbclient.dll instead of gds32.dll. My english is not so good, nut also not so bad - again, I am not sure for few things (aready spent some time reading instructions):

1) Is it "must to" to have intl and udf - folders - I don't distribute them. Everything other I put in same folder - I this this is OK ???
2) Indeed I was using older versions of IC*.dll files - I replaced them in my new installation package.
3) Microsoft MS*.DLL files - I don't understand what is good way to install these. What I did is that I now put manifest file and 3 dlls (msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll and msvcm80.dll - by the way this 3rd doesn't exist in FB Embedded package - is it necesery or not?!?) in same folder as app and firebird files.

I am using Delphi 6 + BDE ( I know, I know, this is histry, but ...)

What is the worst - My app works well on about > 90% of PCS.

regards,

Zoran
