Thanks George:

I'm using the followiong ibpp download:
ibpp-2-2-2-3-src.zip

The file wass downloaded and installed on March 19.

I tried erasing the ".FDB" database file, it only
had a few test entries and my code creates it if it
doesn't exist. But the program still failed, same
problem.

----------

populate_players_list()

*** IBPP::Exception inside Database::Create ***

IBPP Message : isc_dsql_execute_immediate failed

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

Engine Code : 335544375
Engine Message :
unavailable database

----------

What can I be doing wrong?

The release notes say, "You should also copy
firebird.msg and firebird.conf (if necessary) to the same
directory".

I've copied them from the embedded firebird's expand
directory. Looking at firebird.msg reveales that all the
lines are commented out. Is this OK?

I appreciate your taking the time to give me advice.

Thanks
Larry
