We are improved Integration with Microsoft office and fixed known bugs.

  1. Microsoft Word. IBProvider now can provide data for Mail Merge Wizard in Microsoft Word:
  2. Wizard is available from menu item Data->Letters and Mailings->Mail Merge.
    More information about Mail Merge you can find on the Microsoft Office site in article Word mail merge: A walk through the process.

  3. Microsoft Excel. Import function was improved.

  4. You can build your query from Excel for Firebird/Interbase database from menu item Data->Import Export Data->Import Data.
    IBProvider now support two import modes (via table or via SQL query).
    Bugs were fixed:
  • Error reading auto_commit_ddl_level initialization property
  • Incorrect provider behavior: when client tried to insert a few records, which contains BLOB fields, through the MS SQL Linked Server.
    BLOB values were skipped for all rows except first.

The following SQL query, now works correctly:

INSERT INTO [firebird_linked_server]...[some_table] (ID,BLOB_TEXT)
SELECT ID, BLOB_TEXT FROM [mssql_database].[dbo].[goods]
