(As a note to an earlier reply...we don't have spaces in the
database name, I only did that so as to make the database name
apparent. The actual connection string is like this:
Server:f:\winapp\application.gdb )

We prompt the user for the connection string. The application is
designed so they could run different databases from the same
application; however, they have to connect to the database they want
to work with as they login into the application. We save the last
connection string used in the registry so the user doesn't have to
change it each time they login if they login into the same database
all the time (this is very common, only a few users require more
than one database). Both sites that reported this issue have only
one database, thus use only one connection string.

The situation we've had reported that I described in my original
email has been reported by two separate sites with experienced
support personnel from our company on site and witnessing the
occurrence. I've told them exactly what I'm being told in these
replies, that there is no way this can happen. I've not been able
to reproduce it at our site. These support people are very good and
understand the connection string issue as we have a number of
applications that use Firebird and of course they all rely on a
connection string.

I suppose it will be the nature of this issue (not really a problem
because they can connect with the connection string that we all
believe doesn't work) that I can just tell them that there is no way
this can occur because that is what everyone believes. They can
tell me I don't know what I'm talking about because they've
witnessed it themselves. So be it I suppose. I'll post any further
information I can gather regarding issue.

Thanks,
Steve
