I was using 2.1 :-) Anyway, I've gone back and checked everything. Here is what I have done: Clean Install of W7 Copy zipped package to c:\users\public\fb2_N Make sure 'everyone' has full access Amend aliases.conf Create test user Log out as admin Log in as test Open console set FIREBIRD=c:\users\public\fb2_N execute fbserver -a Open firewall to fbserver (requires admin permission.) execute isql -u SYSDBA -p masterkey employee select * from employee This works for both fb20 and fb21 I'm assuming that opening the firewall is a one time, persistent action. I can't really test that as my W7 install is a VM set to throw everything away at the end of the session. I'd say that whatever the problem is, we both managed to stumble across it. The things I did differently this time around are: - No installation of Firebird. Just copy the zip kit to a public directory. - Make sure that public dir is fully accessible to Everyone. Anyway, as I said before, I think this is a Win7 feature rather than a problem with Firebird. :-) Paul -- Paul Reeves http://www.ibphoenix.com Specialists in Firebird support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
