mmm, now we are back to my original question / problem. When I omit Engine12 from the provider's list at the server's config, to ensure the server always acts as a super server, and never acts as an embedded server, the clients from other computers cannot connect via tcp-ip (ip.ip.ip.ip:port/databasename); so why is engine12 needed as a provider at the server's config? (Everybody already answered that question saying because it is the engine of the database, but you are saying it is only the embedded engine of the DB, correct?

No. Y-valve is fbclient.dll. It loads providers as configured. If you don't need to work with databases directly, you can omit Engine from list of providers. Firebird server (fbserver.exe) uses fbclient.dll the same way as any other application. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Documentation item on the main (top) menu.
