Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] "Driver" entry at ODBC.INI registry key

[Roman S. <rom...@gm...>]

That value is used by ODBC manager when you connect to the database and 
provide described DSN. ODBC manager find necessary library.

Or I still don't understand your question.

You program can work in other way. I can't tell you. Maybe your driver 
is self-registered in installer?

You can start debug ODBC and look into messages. What driver is really used.
