I connect to interbase ( delphi 5 IB Objects 4.2g )
using an ini file path=\\server\c:\mydata\mygdb.gdb

This works 100%. If I remove the colon it won't connect ( ISC Error -
Error while trying to open file ).

This is a pain since dialogs boxes \ zip API's etc. all use the 'non-
colon' path. So if I try and use the db path assigned I must remove
the colon first.

Is there a stardard way I can define the db path ?
