I just solved my problem :
It was because of GDS32.DLL in SYSTEM32. At the installation, I had
renamed FBBCLIENT.DLL in GDS32.DLL and so I had GDS32.DLL (same as
FBCLIENT.DLL) and FBCLIENT.DLL.
Now I have only FDBCLIENT.DLL and it works with TCP_IP AND LOCAL.
What is the correct way to deal with these dlls if I want to use
Interbase also ?
