I am using the IboAdmin components to shut down the database.
with the below code ( Delphi 7 ).

try
ibConfig.Active := TRUE;
ibCOnfig.ShutdownDatabase(Forced,spnWaitfor.Value);
while IBConfig.IsServiceRunning do
begin
Sleep(10);
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
ibConfig.Active := FALSE;
except
on E:Exception do
ShowMessage(E.Message);
end;

However after I call this procedure, I then try to rename the
GDB file. I cannot the server is still connected to it.
I thought calling shut down would kick off all attachments
to the database. It seems it does not.

Regards,

Robert.
