Thanks for the response, Gerhard. Would that work in an application that
connects using a different client library for different connections? In
other words, I want to use the embedded server to store operational data for
the app itself along with some logging. However, the main purpose of the
application is to connect to different FB databases on a small WAN, download
data.

The constants that you mention above look global so I'm unsure on how to use
this. I was hoping that the database component would have a property to
specify :) I'm wondering if I could do this:

IB_GDS32 := PathToDLLOne;
//connect the first IBODatabase
IB_GDS32 := PathToDLLTwo;
//connect the second IBODatabase component.

BTW, D6/IBO4

Thanks again,
