//********This is a google translation Hello Eduardo, in my case what happened was that the path variable of the windows operating system was not updated to the folder where I had firebird and on the other hand, depending on the client, I should put gds32.dll in that folder and / or fbclient.dll too to make sure that any software could access them.
