Hi Daniel,

I did, but I had disabled it and renamed the gds32.dll in the system32
directory. The only thing I didn't do last night was restart windows.
I can only assume that becuase I restarted windows that somehow fixed
what ever the problem was.

BUT....this morning I am running on a different machine where the
firebird SS is installed and running and the application has no
problems connecting to the dll and running the embedded server. So
I'm not really sure what the problem was last night.

And incase anyone asks I've already confirmed that the embedded dll is
being loaded and used by my application instead of the SS service
installed and running on this machine.

I must have missed something last night and did it with out thinking
about it this morning.

Ryan.
