Hi Lensman!

Yep, you really are brand new to this.

First the bad news: This really isn't the group you're looking for. Try
ib-support@yahoogroups.com if you want to continue using the API after what
I'm gonna write here.

Now for the good news: You probably do not need to get into the API.
Interbase Objects (this group) is a great tool for serious developers
(voted Best Database Connectivity by Delphi Informant as long as that
category has existed) and it works well with Borland C++ as well (I haven't
used it, but Geoff and Lester who are active in this group use it all the
time)!

So, you've got two choices. Repeat your question at ib-support and continue
fighting the API or get hold of ibobjects (www.ibobjects.com) and take
advantage of all the great work Jason Wharton and others have done to
"protect" you from the API.

HTH,
Set
