Hi Don,

I too have had great difficulty with the IBOAdmin components, but I
managed to get at least the Services components cranked up under
Delphi 5 today!

Anyway, once I got that far I also had the same problem as
yourself.

If you replace the line in your code that says:
DatabaseName := gIP+':'+gFBPath;

with

LoginPrompt := false;
ServerName := gIP; // where Database server lives
DatabaseName := gFBPath; // This is soley the database file path
Protocol := cpTCP_IP; // Must set this to whatever protocol
you're using

it should work.

The current error you are receiving is because of the LoginPrompt
property. I haven't tried, but I think you'll have to hook up the
OnLogin event if you want the LoginPrompt.

cheers
Mark
