[Firebird-odbc-devel] Connect IBProvider in VB

[Bart S. <bar...@gm...>]

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but maybe somebody could tell me
where to get clear instructions how to connect to
Firebird (1.5) with IBProvider in VB, using ADO. I am trying to test
out the free version to see if it might be faster than the
IB Phoenix ODBC driver, but sofar I have been unable to connect.
I copied cc3250mt.dll and _IBProvider_x3_free_i.dll to
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ and did a Regsvr32 on the last file.
I have tried various connection strings similar and with all kind of
variations to this one:

Provider=LCPI.IBProvider.3;
Data Source=localhost:C:\\DB\S6.FDB;
User id=UN;
password=PW;
ctype=win1251;
auto_commit=true

But sofar no success at all.
I am sure there must be something simple I am doing wrong, but I can't see it.
