Your database name is incorrectly formatted. Should read:

'127.0.0.1:c:\Program Files\Firebird\Bin\TMS.GDB';

(NOTE the missing second colon : after the C following the IP address).

> I'm developing a database system for my project using Firebird and

> cn.Params.Values ['Database'] := '127.0.0.1:C\Program
> Files\Firebird\Bin\TMS.GDB';
> cn.Params.Values ['user_name'] := 'tarak';
> cn.Params.Values ['password'] := 'test';
> cn.Connect;
>
> The code produces the run-time error "DataBase name cannot be blank."
> The same code works fine in another version of the database. Any
> ideas??!!

> Thanks :-)
