Jeff,

i've tried 'localhost', 'local' and null (dataresource=;), and i'm
still getting the error. this is a local database, and the 'test
connection' always come back as successful.

here's the code that's making the call:


string connStr;
connStr = "User=SYSDBA;" +
"Password=masterkey;" +
"Database=c:/photography/databaase/csharp/rak-photography.fdb;" +
"DataSource=localhost";

FbConnection conn = new FbConnection(connStr);
conn.Open();
