Hi Helen,

Thanks for the reply,

I am opening the connection and the dataset explisitly, but it only
works when I open it from within the module which contains the
IBODatabase or IB_Connection,

//This works fine
//This code is from a connect function in a datamodule, which
//contains the connection component

dbPanstrat.Server := #ServerName;
dbPanstrat.Path := #Path_to_db;
dbPanstrat.Username := #Username;
dbPanstrat.Password := #Password;
dbPanstrat.SQLDialect := 1;
dbPanstrat.Protocol := cpTCP_IP;
dbPanstrat.Connect;

//After this the login screen is shown, and on the OnShow event the
//following tables are opened:

dmConfiguration.wtblUsers.Open;
dmConfiguration.wtblTills.Open;
dmConfiguration.wtblShifts.Open;

*dmConfiguration is a datamodule

When the any of these Open commands are executed the application
hangs but if I were to Open these datasets from within the
datamodule which contains the connection component, it works.
