And it does. It would require RemoteFileOpenAbility to be true. By default it is false. It should NOT be set true for any database that is not in ReadOnly mode, nor, as you pointed out, for a database that you want to keep safe. > In other words: did you really access a Firebird database through a > share?

Most people know not to do that. But it is a pretty common practice in networks to place the client application software on a share and have all the users run it from the same place. This is where things have come unstuck for at least some of those reporting a similar problem. HB
