Jay -

Using IBO & CGIExpert I have been running an
application server -
tested both running on a single machine (Pentium Laptop) and on
a dual
machine (workstation/server) behind a firewall for quite some
time. I
used the IBO TDataset (TIBOTABLE, TIBOQuery) and the
IB_Connection
components (I am just now learning how to use the more advanced
stuff)
and have found this to work extremely well. As long as you
supply your
user name and password to the IB_Connection - you can do this
explicitly
at design time - and explicitly set the loginPrompt := false,
you should
have no problems with password prompts.

Have you considered all of the simple issues (the ones
I often
overlook) like password case, or spelling?
