Subject: Re: [IBO] unable to connect firebird 1.5 from borland c++ after
downgrade from firebird 2

The object in use is: TIBDatabase.
In other computers (when the only version installed for firebird is
1.5) this works fine.
The problem is only in that one computer where I tried to install the
2.0.3.
Full Database name: "C:\\PSI_SI\\EPG2_B11\GUI\\DEBUG_BUILD\\EPG.GDB"

I used the default options while installing firebird .

Windows had finished starting the Firebird service or another service
that Firebird depends on, such as TCP/IP.

Instead, use the Server, Protocol and Path properties and fill the
DatabaseName property with an internal friendly name.

guess what FullDatabaseName might be...but you will have to tell us more
about the server model you are using (Classic or Superserver) PLUS
exactly what the whole string is that the client is using to connect.

Firebird installation, for example installing over the top of a running
service, which has lately proven to be possible, due to a bug in the
Windows server executables (both Fb 2.0.3 and all the Fb 1.5 series); or
trying to open an ODS 11 database from a Fb 1.5 server.
