<<If you are using IIS for your web server and using InterBase in CGI or
ISAPI DLL, you may run into a
problem where your Username and Password seem to be invalid when the are
not. The solution is
the following:

1) Go to the control panel and click on services. Find the InterBase Server,
click on it and click on
the Startup button. Make sure the "Allow service to Interact with the
desktop" is check.

2) Go to the control panel and click on services. Find the IIS Server, click
on it and click on the
Startup button. Make sure the "Allow service to Interact with the desktop"
is check.

3) In your database alias, the connection string should not be
"c:\path\to\database.gdb" which will
make a local connection. But it should be "localhost:/path/to/database.gdb"
which will use a tcp/ip
connection to make the connection. >>

Now, wouldn't you consider buying a support contract from the people who
brought you such valuable and succinct information ?
