Hello Helen

Thank you for answering me.

I am using Visual FoxPro 9 in a Windows XP machine.

Usually I connect to the database with something like the following:

Local lcCadenaConexion, lnHandle

lcCadenaConexion = "DRIVER={Firebird/InterBase(r) driver};" ;
+ "SERVER=localhost;" ;
+ "USER=WALTER;" ;
+ "PASSWORD=123456;" ;
+ "DATABASE=E:\VISUAL
FOXPRO\SQL_COLEGIO\FBEMBEDDED\ADMIN.FDB;" ;
+ "OPTIONS=131329;"

lnHandLe = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcCadenaConexion)

? lnHandle && if lnHandle > 0, the connection is OK, if it is -1, then
had a problem

Return
*
*
and it works right, lnHandle has a value greater than zero

However I don't know how to connect to the same database using the embedded
version.

I had copied the database and all the files of:
Firebird-2.5.0.26074-0_Win32_embed.zip in a folder, but still the connection
is rejected, lnHandle shows me - 1 (connection error).

How I should to write the connection string?

Thanks in advance.

Walter.
