Thomas, thanks for your comment. I am making a very basic piece of software using wxWidgets and IBPP that I want to be easily deployable without having to install the server, check firewalls etc. You might think that sqlite or similar is more appropriate but I am happy with Firebird and don't want to preclude scaling things to client server at some point down the road. I have successfully used fbtracemgr before with the normal server, but this is my first attempt at using it with the embedded server which has been setup following the instructions at http://www.firebirdfaq.org/Firebird-Embedded-Linux-HOWTO.html Kind regards
