The above looks correct then. I was wondering if you had a typo somewhere, it appears not. :-( > > For example, I had Firebird installed on a Windows 2003 machine (named > AD2K3), which has this aliases.conf: > XFILES = C:\DATI\FB\XFILES.FDB > > And I can access it from any client with AD2K3:XFILES So it worked before when you didn't have Windoes 7, but now that you have Windows 7, it fails? Where is firebird installed? and what is the location of the aliases.conf file? Also, it shouldn't make a difference, but is this a 32 or 64 bit Windows 7 installation? And have you installed the corresponding "bit" size of Firebird? Thanks.
