Peter,

I'm puzzled as to what you are doing. Just for a reality check, I did the following:

1. Opened the Tutorial1.dpr
2. Clicked on the Connection component and changed its PasswordStorage property to psNotSecure
3. Entered c:\Program Files\Firebird\Samples\employee.gdb in the Path property
4. Left the Protocol as cpLocal
5. Entered SYSDBA in the Username property
6. Entered masterkey in the Password property
7. Ran it.
8. Clicked on the Connect ( + ) button. It connected without errors.
9. Clicked on the Disconnect ( - ) button. It disconnected without errors.

Next, I copied employee.gdb to drive e:\FooledYa and renamed it to murphy.gdb.

Went back to Tutorial1 and changed the Path property to e:\FooledYa\murphy.gdb

Ran it and repeated all of the above. No problems.

Any comments on the procedure described above?

Helen
