Like did you use the localhost as your server? 'cos afaik, you can't

In my code, I'm copying the exact credentials from a TIB_Connection
that is already connected to the same database. user_name=SYSDBA,
password=masterkey, protocol cpTCP_IP. Yes, I am using localhost.
However, I'm running FB 2.03 which does allow a localhost connection
on Vista. You're right, earlier versions of 2 didn't allow the local
connection.

The code that I downloaded from the files area only references two
server types, IB 6 and FB 1.5. Is there an update for 2.x?
