If I knew how to do it I’d gladly contribute and write the instructions.
I didn’t get the firebird Database for free. It was foisted upon me by a third
party Software program the company uses.
I want to integrate the business processes. We have SQL, JADE and Firebird
Databases that need to “talk” with each other . So I’ll need to access 2
Firebird Databases.
Read access is fine. I don’t own the data structure but I do own the data.
I’m not complaining because something has gone bad. I’m complaining because
nothing has gone right.
Nothing personal guys. Firebird is a great product. I’m just frustrated I can’t
work with it in VS yet.
Surely there is someone out there that can. And is willing to help me
understand where I’m going wrong.
It may be that this is a VS problem not a firebird problem.
PS. I do a lot of work for charity. I contribute to user groups all over the
world. I am not looking for a free ride , nor am I lazy. I am a developer. That
often means I’m still working at 3am and drinking way too much Mountain Dew. I
apologise for being rude.

Hello:
If I’m asking for too much then I’m happy to provide instruction on how
to pull your head out of your own arse.
I was going to write a rude answer ... but as i'm out of the project now, i
will simply say that if i was Jiri i will *never* do the installer for the DDEX
provider, never, never, never ( it's a tool for developers, and if you think
the instructions in the readme aren't clear enough you could try to explain
what parts of it aren't clear, to update them, instead of being complaining ...
).
There are tons of people using the provider ( that has a *lot* of really nice
features ) but only a *few* ( really *few* ) of them contributing to the
project ( i don't know if there are more people that Jiri right now, that has
done a really nice job since i left the project ... and before too ;) ), and
there are a lot of areas where people can help, but ... looks like it's nice to
get all for free without doing nothing, and complaint when somethings goes bad
.... or didn't work as you expect .... and with the time really is discouraging
( at least for me it was at the time )
