Hi, I have 2 Delphi applications that are working on the one Firebird
database. Let me explain. The first application uses 3 tables
relationally linked to each other. It is a many to many relationship.
This application has been working well for 6 months. The second
application is my developmental application which uses the same firebird
database which is looking at adding records to the 3 tables. So I am
constantly changing and compiling the second developmental application.
At some stage it hangs and then fails to compile. Giving me the
'EIB_ConnectionError - Cannot change while connected'.
I can still use the original application which uses the same database.

If I rebooted the computer my developmental application would still not
compile. So this looked like there was something wrong with my code in
the developmental application. However, I find this morning that it
compiles easily. I have not changed anything since it was unable to
compile yesterday.

I am not sure what is happening. It looks like I opened a transaction
which for some reason would not close yesterday. This prevented my
developmental application opening the Firebird database. Today it is all
fine. I don't understand it.

It might also be that TIB_Connection.Connected := True at compile
time, and then trying to change the server and path at runtime.
