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:



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.


2. Microsoft Excel. Import function was improved.

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]
