Looking back at your old postings on this issue, I smell an elephant in the room. Have you been developing these apps with the renamed fbembed.dll as the client that is loaded by the IDE? You should not do that. Embedded is a deployment option ONLY - it does not belong in your development environment.
Develop and compile with Superserver and the regular client, using cpLocal as the connection protocol. Set up your test installation for embedded totally external to the project structure and copy the executable over to it each time you compile. If you are running the test installation on the same box as a running fbserver then, until you are certain that the detached executable is finding the fbembed library correctly, shut down Superserver while testing it as an embedded app.
Also, use gfix to set Forced Writes ON. Don't rely on it to be set by the client app if you ever intend upgrading Firebird. Beyond Fb 2.0.6 and 2.1.2, ordinary users can't change database header settings via the API. But, even if you're going to stick with v.1.5.6 for ever, it's still not a thing you should be enabling for ordinary users. Check and double-check the Params of your connection object and get rid of everything that can modify the database header.
