OK the other windows problem creeping in ...
You said originally 'Windows 8' which I would anticipate being 64 bit?
If the test application was compiled as '64bit' then you will also need
a 64bit version of Firebird. Otherwise you need the 32bit build ...
which may account for your earlier results as the deleted versions may
have been the right 'bittyness' and being picked up rather then the
renamed embedded one in your folder :(

Right on the money Lester!!!! ell done. As I just tried the win32 embeded and it works as expected. Although now I need to getFlame Robin working and I just posted in my previous reply a question on this.
