what access components do you use? in case it's IBObjects, you can stop
searching - the TIB_Script component is all you'll need. There are sample apps
that demonstrate this: you can launch them, and if the database is not already
there it will be created "on the fly" just with a TIB_Script.Execute call. will
work in a console app, too - no GUI required.

you can use ISQL or IBEScript (from www.ibexpert.com), but with the IBO approach
you have full control over the execution of the script, can easily check for
errors, can use macros to customize the script while it runs etc. (i'm pretty
sure IBX and FIBPlus have similar components, but i only use IBO...)
