Hi Steve First off I'd be using version 2 given its available and I find it's very reliable. Second if you are using Vista then you must use a TCP/IP connection like Tracy mentioned. E.g. 127.0.0.1:c:\mydir\mydb.fdb If it's on a different machine try adding the servers ip address and that you have read/write access rights
