Hi Helen

Sorry about the delayed response , on Friday me emails were taking about
3hrs to send or receive and we have had a long weekend so I am only now
seeing your replies.

I believe I have found some (or all of the issues here). Bearing in
mind that the system originally worked fine with FB SS.
I had Server and protocol set correctly and I did understand all the
stuff you were saying but because I had it right anyway I was somewhat
confused.

I needed to put double quotes " around both backup and database names
(they had spaces in them). This doesn't seem to be a requirement for
SS. I also changed from GetNextChunk to GetNextLine. This works fine
now, however I need to test in SS.

The next issue however is that a screen that ran a script to create a
new empty database no longer works. it uses an IB_Script component and
under FB classic comes up with 'Invalid CREATE, CONNECT or DROP DATABASE
syntax'. This is the same script that works ok under FB SS!

Help !
