Hi Tony,

first: thanks for the howto!, just a little comment:

you don't necessarily have to edit the IB_Session511
unit directly, you just have to make sure the

IB_Constants.IB_GDS32 := 'fbembed.dll';

statement gets executed before IBO "comes alive" in
your app; so you could e.g. place it in the
initialization part of any of your own app's units.
(editing IB_Session511.pas may cause problems when
you install newer IBO versions later on...)

cheers,
Frank
