Suggestions: Use the full server. Some one else here tried it the other day
and couldn't work out why it won't work.
ISAPI has always wanted a TCP connection string - it won't work with a local
connection string... why? because it needs to make trheaded connections. Try
it, you'll find out how quickly it locks up.
I can only imagine that people are tempted to use the embedded server
because it means they can deploy on a hosted server without need for there
provider to set them up with FB. Great idea but it won't work.
