I am running a Firebird database system on Server 2008 R2, Firebird 2.0.x and the matching 64-bit version of iODBC that was provided with the Firebird install. Everything is running 64-bit, including Excel.
I have set up a system DSN to connect to the Firebird database. This works perfectly in various "mini-GUIs" like MS Query. I simply select the DSN, type in a query, and up comes my data.
However, when I try the same from within VBA using ADODB, it fails. The error is the generic "Automation Error", which is kicked back from practically everything from security problems to network failures, so it's of little use in debugging.
So here's my question: is ADODB 64-bit in any version? I have selected the "ADO Data Access 6.0" library, but I can't imagine a way to tell what word size it uses.
