Thanks Carlos:

I've been looking at the release notes, but I
don't understand exactly what I need to do.

I'm using the IBPP interface, thanks for the
advice everyone, and this is the fragment of my
code that causes the problme:

----------------

database_id = IBPP::DatabaseFactory(DB_SERVER_NAME,
database_path_and_name,
DB_USER_NAME,
DB_PASSWORD,
"", "",
"PAGE_SIZE 8192");

database_id->Connect();

-----------------

database_path_and_name is:
E:\larryl\usr\work\ ... \database\xxx.fdb

If I pass a NULL pointer instead of the server
name I get some non-IBPP trap.

If I set the DB_SERVER_NAME to "", I get this
error:

---------------

populate_players_list()

*** IBPP::Exception inside Database::Connect ***

IBPP Message : isc_attach_database failed

SQL Message : -904
Unsuccessful execution caused by an unavailable resource..

Engine Code : 335544375
Engine Message :
unavailable database

---------------

I'm sure I need a local connection to the database.
How do I do that?

Thanks
Larry
