Subject problem connecting to database on remote server
Author Tony Christiansen
Hi all

I have firebird 3 installed on a server ADE-VM

I run isql from my machine and connect to a test database on C: without
error
But when I try to connect to a copy of the test database on E: it gives
the following error.

I do not know why the drive makes a difference. The firebird.conf file
has databaseaccess=full (default)

I can open both databases on the remote server itself.

Thanks for any assistance
Tony
