OK, sorry if I confused you but welcome to the confused masses.

You asked if I used C or C++ - the answer is C.

You asked how I declared the firebird functions in my code:
my answer was using firebird includes: ibase.h and ib_util.h
I pointed out that my compile uses "-DWIN32" so the version
of the functions with "__stdcall" is generated (I showed it)

I have also tried a lot of other things includeing __cdecl (not
compatible with __stdcall. I also tried nothing for EXPORT (and
ISC_EXPORT).

I have also sent you (and others) privately the entire source but your
email has problems - I sent a copy of the bouncing to Roman to give to
you.

Anyway, to review - I am compiling on Windows 7 using GCC (a 32 bit
compiler on a 64 bit machine). Attached are a pared down MINIMAL set of
the udf code, the compile batch file, and the results. I have tried many
flavors of compile switches (WIN32, GNUC, BORLAND ...) - none are happy
with the provided firebird libraries. I will next try analyzing the
libraries using pexport unless you have a better idea.

I stress that the attached source is MINIMAL - just enough to force the
two calls causing problems. The rest you can get (if you want from Paul
Beach or Dmitry).

PS - all attached files are in Microsoft line ending format.
