Can you access the server from the server itself? (I mean localhost:D:\DB\datas.HDB, or something like this)
Did you install client DLL (fbclient.dll, and/or gds32.dll) on the client machine? This is the only file you have to install (if you want to access the server only in native mode. For BDE applications, you have to install a full BDE environment)
How do you want to access server? Native, or through BDE?

Thanks for all the feedback.

I still can not access the database from a client computer. Are there any
firebird tools or files which need to be installed on the client computer to
read the database (.HDB) from the server.

Regards,

Tariq
