TIBDataBase and Windows Server 2003 R2

[R. Michael Hall]

I have an application using a TIBDatabase that works fine on my
workstation (WinXP). When I load the application on my server (Windows
Server 2003 R2), using the same user/pwd settings and directory
structure, I get an "unavialble database" error.

What do I need to change to get it to work on the server?

Is that the entire text of the error message?

Is there an error in the interbase.log file?

I assumed you have confirmed that the user the IB service runs under
has access to the database file.

Are you running the application via Remote Desktop or from the console on
the server?

You can not make a local connection using remote desktop. You must connect as
if it is a remote server. IB create a Memory mapped file for transferring data
in a local connection, but you are not in the same process space as the server
when connecting thru remote desktop.

Thanks, works now.
