With Flamerobin you don't need an external driver because it is written in C++ and has been compiled with all its connectivity on board, using IBPP as its middleware.
Understand what Sean is saying to you about the "bitness" of the client layers. Even if you are running a 64-bit Windows, you will need 32-bit-everything for your app because Foxpro only does 32-bit.
Also check, via the firebird-odbc-devel list, not this list, whether you still need to rename fbembed.dll to fbclient.dll (or even gds32.dll) with the ODBC driver version you are using.
