Thanks for the info. I am not the dba for this server, but will find out
why we are not progressing with the RC's.

Not a "problem" - but Fb 1.5 has a whole new raft of stuff to protect the
security of the server. External files have always been a source of
exposure and in Fb 1.5 you need to configure their location(s) explicitly.

Do you realise that RC4 is a rather old beta? It pre-dated the release
notes by some months. Release notes are in the current betas (RC
6). Updated versions are available from www.ibphoenix.com - watch the
news
items on the home page for updates. Currently we are at v.1.04 of the
notes, with more updates coming along...

It would help you and us if you upgraded your Firebird to the
latest. There is too much "noise" in support from people expecting
solutions to things in betas that have been fixed in later betas. We're
all volunteers here.
