? Can you explain? I'm pretty sure they should all work just fine for
remote sites. There are several - including Database Workbench
( www.upscene.com ) that people use to access database pretty much
everywhere.

No, you don't need access to the db file, you need access to the
Firebird service.

I guess you're doing something wrong :-)
