Thx, Sean for replying.
I installed FB1.5.2 using the install EXE from the FB open source
website. I don't know how to configure FB, so I'd say no to your
question about a specific user/non-system account. However, my
datasource names (using Delphi/ADO) use a different username than the
one I log onto the PC with.
I haven't taken any special steps to restrict the DB folder. However,
I DID create it inside "Program Files" which is not shareable on my XP
Pro OS. (I read previous msgs that said the FB DB should not be in a
shared folder, because FB needs to be guaranteed to be able to place
an exclusive lock on the DB file.)
Thx for your time.
