>Hi,If you are talking about a database and a renamed fbembed.dll as client then, in theory, yes. Place the executable in the application directory and connect just as with any other client application. Use a local connection string if the server version is Fb 1.5 or lower; use local connection string or TCP/IP local loopback (localhost) if the server version is Fb 2.0 or higher.
