Hi Nando,

I mustn't be too good at searching the archives as I've searched through them and found nothing of any help.
I am beginning to wonder if this question has actually been asked at all.

Thanks for your suggestion but I have already been down your path.
I have come across TIB_Session.GetConnectionByName but finding a global (or default) session variable is obviously the key. Unfortunately the IB_Session identifier isn't a variable, it is a unit. And there is no IB_Session.Session or IB_Session.IB_Session global variable!

Surely someone else has had this problem before too? I just want to get a reference to a database by it's name.

Thanks,
Ben

You aren't as good at looking at the archives, are you? :-)

TIB_Session.GetConnectionByName is what you're after.
he global session object is the IB_Session variable, I believe.
