[Herdy Cen]

Hello, I am trying to connect to Accurate DB Firebird through ODBC, and I just could not seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you read the documentation (see
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/html/en/refdocs/fbodbc20/firebird-odbc-driver-20-manual.html)?

You don't give us a lot to go on. What have you tried? What errors do
you get?

Google said nothing about "Accurate DB Firebird". Why don't you ask its
support of manufacturer or whatever they are?

I am new to this and basically want to connect to Firebird through ODBC as shown in the manual Figure 6. Setting up parameters for the DSN  (https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/html/en/refdocs/fbodbc20/firebird-odbc-driver-20-manual.html). I am using .gdb file and have no idea how to test the connection since I don't know the Client location.

The scenario:

1. I installed Accurate 5 Deluxe and it automatically installs Firebird along with it.
2. Opened .gdb file in Accurate 5 Deluxe and it works.
3. Now I am trying to connect to the installed Firebird itself through ODBC and could not locate the Client file address.

*Accurate is an Accounting software.

Windows File Search - fbclient.dll. If several was found - choose one with
right bitness and closest to the Accurate.

What should I do if I could not find one? Should I try to reinstall Firebird?

Search better. The Accurate as any other application cannot work with
Firebird without client. Even Firebird itself starting from version 3 cannot.
I once again recommend to ask the Accurate's support.
