Hi Helen

> Make sure that they are all connecting to

OURSERVER:D:\ourpath\ourdatabase.gdb with *no* variation on this connection
string format; no mapped drives, no drive designators that are missing the
backslash after, no IP addresses.

<<< no IP addresses>>>

why we should not use IP adress in the connection string. Doesn't we give IB
an easy way to connect to the server. I think IB first try to resolve the IP
adress from the <servername> then connect to the server???
