Hi Kevin,

I do nto think there is such a type, however it seems like what you
want to do is grab the dbHandle property of the TIB_Connection in
your main executable, then for the TIB_Connection in the bpl, set the
its dbHandleShared property to the dbHandle property. The property
type of dbHandle is isc_db_handle so perhaps these earlier posts
used the wrong name for the classtype.

I have not tried any of this but just snooped around a bit...
