Thanks all,
I realised that on the target machine I did not have Local Interbase server
installed. I had the client installed and previous to today, I have been
accessing an Interbase Server on another machine via TCP/IP. In the Clients
case they had the .gdb file on a machine with Interbase Client and no
server. I did not realise that you needed to have an Interbase server of
somekind (either full or the Local one provided with Delphi) additionally on
the machine to connect with the TIBDatabase component. I am gathering from
that the the IB client is just that, it only connects as a client to a
server and by itself cannot read Interbase files?
thanks
