Subject Re: [firebird-support] Problem - GDS32.dll not found - but only intermittently
Author Douglas Kingsford
Hi Helen,

Thanks very much for your help with this.

Unfortunately, this doesn't resolve the problem. It's very strange - I
have a Delphi Intraweb application that creates a pool of data modules
attached to Firebird on startup, and if I call this first then
everything works correctly with the other (non-Intraweb) ISAPI apps that
attach to Firebird, otherwise the non-IW ISAPI apps return the
"GDS32.DLL not found" error. Intraweb works by having a persistent
application object that then spawns threads (that it manages separately
to IIS) for each request.

Any ideas??

Kind regards
Douglas
