no - I mean the DSN in the ODBC setup must also be prefixed by the
servername and not just the path. Personally I prefer DSN-less connection
strings
e.g.
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("MainConn_ConnectionString") = "DRIVER={Gemini InterBase ODBC
Driver
2.0};PROTOCOL=2;SERVER=servername/port;DATABASE=c:\fbdata\fbfilename.fdb;VER
SION=6;DIALECT=3;OPTIONS=256;UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey;"
Application("MainConn_ConnectionTimeout") = 15
Application("MainConn_CommandTimeout") = 30
Application("MainConn_CursorLocation") = 3
End Sub
