Hi, Helen:

Thanks for the response.

No, this is all done locally with superserver. It is essentially a
desktop program, which recently we added the ability to upload some data
to an internet location, thus requiring that we go from embedded to
fbclient with server.

All systems use the same setup. That particular user happens to be the
"tech support" guy for this program.

My work around was to simply copy the current DB as a file backup, then
restore to replace the current DB. I was worried the copy would be slow,
but for the typical 100 - 1000 mb file it goes pretty quickly. The copy
was allowed, but the deleting and renaming was not, at least on that one
system.
