Hello:

I use FireBird 2.0, Delphi 5 and IBX.

I have an application which uses many FireBird databases (.FDB files). The databases are in a server PC.

This application has an option to export and an option to import data. For example, my application has a table with definitions of forms to print. When a user needs a new form, he sends me by fax a printed example, then I make the definition in my PC, then I export this new definition using the "export" option. This option creates a new database with the form definition, creating the necessary tables. Then I send this database by mail to my customer. He saves it in a folder of his hard disk and uses the "import" option to add this new definition to his database (which already has tables with the other form definitions he is using).

This works right. The only problem is that I want to use the "export" option to make a new database in a client PC (not the server PC) and I also want to use the "import" option to import a database which is in a client PC (not the server PC). But as far as I know, I can only open databases which are phisically in the server PC. So my question is:

Is there a way to open a database which is in a client PC (not the server PC)?

Thanks in advance

Gustavo
