I am having problems running gbak and gsec from a command prompt opened
while logged-in to the server using Remote Desktop. It seems to be
similar to the problems in this post
<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/89501>
and next time I do a site visit to the customer I shall try this
solution
<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/89505> .
But in the meantime I would like to learn more about Remote Desktop and
using Firebird tools. Helen said:

"It appears that your command shell client is a remote desktop
client. If so, you need to include the -database switch and provide
the full network address of the security database ... "

but I don't understand why. Obviously my understanding of how Remote
Desktop works is too naive. Can anyone suggest clear and simple
resources for learning about the issues?

Thanks
