The computer I'm working on had a totally clean install of WinXp. There were no client dlls installed. It should be using the client on the server from a mapped drive. In fact, based on the results of the process monitor program, it does find the gds32.dll. This setup works for almost all of our client computers. The server is 64bit Win2008 and 64bit Interbase XE is installed on it. I'm now wondering if some hardward or OS issue is preventing the 32bit client computer from accessing the presumedly 64bit client dll on the server. The problem with that is that the majority of our client computers are 32bit and they are accessed the server client with no problems.

Thanks
