Hello

Fortunately the above was setup ok on the hosting machine.

I got the problem resolved late last night after exchanging emails
with my hosting company www.reddi-web.co.uk who did a sterling job on
resolving the issues. What the problems turned out to be were

1. The db was located on a different server and I had to put the IP
address into the connection properties of the SQL connection.

2. The UIBDBexpfire15.dll was not located in the windows/system
directory on the host machine. My host then placed this file
in the correct directory and the problems were solved.

Many thanks to you and Dennis for posting your replies.
