Thank you Karol. A picture is worth a thousand words! I was trying to use a mapped drive to a shared folder when I needed to reference the database location using the server’s path.

If you try to connect on shared – then this not work(you can enable this in config but this is not good choice at all) normally connection string looks like: 127.0.0.1/3050:C:\baza\baza.fb 3050 port can be ommited you can on local system connect by: C:\baza\baza.fb but not by \\someserver\baza\baza.fb <file:///\\someserver\baza\baza.fb> regards, Karol Bieniaszewski From: mailto:[email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2016 10:38 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [firebird-support] Database Unavailable Used IB 10 years ago. Porting an SQL Anywhere app to FB 2.5. Going well until I try to connect a client to the database - "database unavailable." I have shared the DB folder on my Windows 7 machine, can browse to it from a client machine (Win 10) and see Full Control permissions. I have disabled my Trend AV on the Win7 server as well as put incoming and outgoing rules in the firewall for FBserver.exe. I am using the ODBC client to connect via ADO which works fine on the Win7 server. I've run out of things to try. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
