<DIV>I am getting a legacy program that uses both BDE and TIB connections to a
Firebird V2 database working on Windows 7.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have installed BDE (the old version – V5.01) OK – the trick is to install
as Administrator</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have installed Firebird server and the database.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can connect to it using EMS SQL Manager and Flamerobin just fine and browse
the tables and run SQL etc. – ie the Database file and server all look
fine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the programs TIBQuery connection also seems to be working OK.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However I cannot connect to it using BDE – it looks like the problem is the
driver. I installed the Firebird/Interbase ODBC driver, but it may
be that the original XP PCs using an Intersolv native INTRBASE driver, for
which I don’t have an install, or an install of the BDE that once included an
INTRBASE driver that I don’t have in my fresh BDE install.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone have suggestions how to get the BDE connection working?</DIV>
