Subject Problem connecting my VB6 App to Firebird.
Author Paddy Flanagan
I am trying to connect an existing VB application that connected to an
Oracle 10G database to a Firebird database.
I have created an ODBC connection on my PC and can successfully connect to
the database tables from Microsoft Excel, so I am reasonably happy that the
odbc connection is working.
In my VB6 app, I am using the following connection string

GConnection.ConnectionString = _
"DRIVER=Firebird/InterBase(r)
driver;UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey;DBNAME=localhost:c:\IFOLDER\FIREBIRD\TIME.FDB"
GConnection.Open

I get an error message telling me "Error 3706 Provider cannot be found, it
may not be properly installed"

Can some one please help me here.
