"What are the Server and Path properties set to in your ib_connection?"

My IBO Connection "server" property is blank, but in the path I'm using:

\\MyServerName\C:\mydata\mydatabase.fdb

Do I need to fill in the server name or will the name referenced in
the path suffice?

Regarding GDS32.DLL and fbClient.DLL you said " You wouldn't be using
both of them."

I'm using unmodified IBO components. Should I physically remove
fbclient from the machines - both client and server?
