Thank you Karol. A picture is worth a thousand words! I was trying to use a mapped drive to a shared folder when I needed to reference the database location using the server’s path.

Hi,
what is your connection string?
If you try to connect on shared – then this not work(you can enable this in config but this is not good choice at all)
normally connection string looks like:
127.0.0.1/3050:C:\baza\baza.fb
3050 port can be ommited
you can on local system connect by:
C:\baza\baza.fb
but not by
regards,
Karol Bieniaszewski

Subject: [firebird-support] Database Unavailable
Used IB 10 years ago. Porting an SQL Anywhere app to FB 2.5. Going well
until I try to connect a client to the database - "database unavailable." I
have shared the DB folder on my Windows 7 machine, can browse to it from a
client machine (Win 10) and see Full Control permissions. I have disabled
my Trend AV on the Win7 server as well as put incoming and outgoing rules in
the firewall for FBserver.exe.
I am using the ODBC client to connect via ADO which works fine on the Win7
server. I've run out of things to try. Any suggestion would be greatly
appreciated.
