The ClientDLL property would be useful in some cases, but if you have
control over the client DLL and the server version, then you're best to
head for the local fbclient.dll. That way you know what version of
fbclient.dll is being loaded and you know that your app will be using
that correct fbclient.dll version to connect to the server.

As I recall from previous posts, I *think* there is work being done on a
selectable DLL. You may want to search the newsgroups for more info.

cheers
Mark
