The miHotel software does not require mentioning the name of the database
file; only it requires defining the path of the file.



When I am trying to access the database file from the server where the
database is stored using this command:



192.168.1.153:C:\Program Files\SoftMI\miHotel\DB\



the software loads the database file without any problem but when I am
trying to access the database file from the client PC, I get this message
"Missing configuration file: C:\Program Files\FirBird\aliases.conf".



I am wondering if there is some testing to find out what is the problem as I
have tried everything I know but no result.



Many thank ..



Regards,

Tariq

this is a path - it has no filename at the end, It needs a filename.
It could not have worked on the server either. So you must be mistaken
there,, sorry.
