Sorry I guess I should have explained more fully. The 2
installations (IB/FB)are both running locally on the same machine.

Does FB use a different port from 3050?? If so do you know how to
define it in the application in order to force it to use FB rather
than IB.

Thanks for your help

Regards

Dave
