Hi everyone, I'm new to .Net and SF too. I'm involved in a project to build a system using a FireBird database (changing the database is not an option). I'm using VS 2005 and installed this provider successfully. I can see and use the provider from within VS but when I try to use it from within SF it doesn't appear in the list to choose from.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance. Marcelo.

When you say firebird isn't available from within SF, what do you mean? You'll have to use either the OLEDB or ODBC drivers, in which case you just need to setup the connection string to use the appropriate Firebird driver...or that's were I'd start in any case.

Greg, I finally managed to get it work !!! It was my fault, thanks anyway for your interest in this post.

Glad to hear it!
