You can use the Service API functions (Superserver only).

If you use Borland CPP Builder, you can also use some free frontend
functions I wrote (because the API stuff is tedious to set up). You
can find them at http://vinkenoog.nl/interbase/

There is also an excellent open source library of C++ objects you can
use (the C++ objects work with every compiler, not just Borland). It's
called IBPP and it's on SourceForge. I think they even ported it to
Delphi.
