Many thanks guys,

I don't want to have the mapped drive situation either, but just thought
I would see what others have done it similar situations.

The client has had problems with a current piece of software, that uses
Firebird, which crashes quite regularly and requires a reboot. I believe
that this is actually the software and not Firebird, so I can see why he
is apprehensive about installing Firebird on his main data server. I
will just need to convince him otherwise.

Out of interest, as its not happened to me yet, if firebird does
actually freeze or hang, will a simple stop and restart of the service
do in 99% of the cases?

Many thanks again,
Jason
