The format you suggest, which is valid doesn't want to work .. I don't know
why.

Your "C:PRAX\" doesn't look too good.
See above comment

Don't define "share" for your database.
I'm sharing the NTFS folder c:\prax where the database resides.
Using "prax.fdb" might be better than "prax.gdb" (with WinXP).
Will give it a go!

"CreateFile failed" could be a matter of giving access (to the database
directory and temp directory) to the user the Fb runs under or was
installed by.
So you suggest I share the Firebird install folder?
