Ok, I understand, thanks for this precision. so i really need a layer :-)

However, i've got a last question (and sorry for the insistance but i would like to understand). When i had a call with a Borland expert ( i was talk about the same case), he told me that with IB 7.0 and only 1 licence i would have the possibility to connect the same database at the same time with my 3 applications.
For this he told me there was many ways and one in particular : using DLLs. Was it a joke or an commercial argument intended for the ignorant guys :-((
Can you tell me what do you think about that ?

Cedric,
if you are using the developer license as you agreed you were (before) then
there was never a legal way to use these 3 connections for free! They were
always provided to you the developer for development purposes - never to be
used to deploy your application.
