Hi,

Sounds like you don't have FB running as a service.
Check how you have it running in the control pannel applet on the server.

Cheers
Steven

Hi All,

An update to the original post on this subject:

When I initially copied the FDB file to the server from my laptop I had had
to log on as the server administrator. After doing this the application on
my laptop ran fine, even though the connection to the server was
disconnected/reconnected a few times.
When trying the app on the Win 2000 client it wouldn't work.
However, logging on to the server yesterday from the Win 200 machine as
administrator, and then trying the app now works.
Obviously I'm missing something here in terms of the necessity to log onto
the server in the first instance (the FDB is, BTW, in a shared folder on the
server).
Why logging on to the server just once should cause the app to run from that
point forward I don't understand. I had assumed (obviously
wrongly) that setting the port at 3050 would bypass the server log- on
requirements.
Actually, at the moment, the FDB is resident on the application server which
also runs a commercial Oracle based program (which in turn is connected to a
DB server). The Oracle program is still under "development/modification"
(for the last 10 months) so I am trying to avoid any 'interference' with
this aspect.
The one thing I haven't checked yet is what strain of Windows is running on
the application server at this time.
