I did say "client licence", since I assumed you were using IB. No licences
are needed for Firebird, though.

Then the next question (seeing you are using named pipes) is: what is the
server OS? If it is Win95/98, WinME or XPHome, named pipes isn't supported
for the client-to-server connection - use tcp/ip.

Solutions tend to come faster when you provide all of the relevant
information.
