Yes, I tried indicating the name or IP of the server but it didn't work. The only way to open the databases is using an alias.

 

Hello,

Did you try some thing like this :

IBODatabase1.Path := your GDB or FDB filename with path...;

IF SERVER_<>'' then // NAME or IP of  the server
           IBODatabase1.Server:=SERVER_ else
            IBODatabase1.Server:=PC_NAME; //localhost 

if not IBODatabase1.Connected then

           IBODatabase1.Connect;

(using SYSDBA and masterkey.. or user....)

Best Regards,

MLCVISTA

Thanks for your suggestion.

The user have total control of the file and the folder. I can modify it and even delete it. I tried moving the file to other folders and I tried with many FDB files. If I copy the FDB to another computer with Firebird, then I can open it without any problem. So the problem seems to be related to the computer.

I use Firebird 2.1 since many years ago and it works well. That's why I didn´t change it already.

1) Check user access rights on DB folder/file and account, under which Firebird server is running
2) Why you don't use latest 2.5.8 version of Firebird?
