Hi Ed,
 
The latest few versions of IBO support a new component called TIB_ClientLib that gives you complete control over what client DLL is used. 
 
You can even have one application where you have a session with FB 1.5 and InterBase x.x and have them working simultaneously.

Subject: [IBO] Problems with FB 1.5.6 in upgrading to the latest version of Windows 10

[I sent a copy of this to Jason directly, but wanted to post it here in case there were any additional comments or thoughts]

We are having a serious problem with the latest Windows update uninstalling FB 1.5.6 and not allowing it to be reinstalled.

We are looking to migrate to 3.x, but wanted to know if we have the ability to change the DLL IBO uses via code? What I want to do is backup a 1.5 database and restore it to 3.0 using the same application.

Is this something that is possible? If not, can we at least make it so a program can use GDS32.DLL so that we can back up a 1.5 database using an application and restore it using FBClient.DLL.
