That might be from client, not from the server. If fbclient.dll is loaded
from the Windows folder, then chances are the log is also written there.

------------------------------------

Good bet Mark,

it seems that only client entries exist in Windows\firebird.log. Our application uses IBX that binds to gds32.dll (a copy of fbclient.dll), which is placed into the WINDOWS\SysWOW64 during installation with fbclient.dll, not into WINDOWS.

Also this behaviour seems to exists only in SuperClassic and perhaps Classic, SuperServer writes the client log messages correctly to the FB install base folder.

Thanks
