I've just been re-working an app to use firebird in D2010 and seems to work well. The server is compiled in D2010 and the client in D2007 - and I'm not having any unicode conversion problems (that I can tell). Alister, since I don't know anything about Firebird what is the best way (tutorial,

By the way does anyone have experience with concurrent remote users accessing an application on the company's server. I realize that a Citrix server would allow multiple, concurrent connections? I need help with what happens after a user logs in. Namely, somehow I will need to take that login and

There is not much official documentation as yet. I'm using DBX to access the data, so learning about that would be a good start (there are plenty of movies and documentation on this). You can get firebird from http://firebirdsql.org and there is lots of documentation there as well (not

Thank you Steve, that code certainly doesn't look all that overwhelming to me; yeah! I believe I know enough to take the result of the function and can plug into an SQL to display that person's records. I'll give it a try; but please forgive me in advance if I have to bother you some more.

As per my personal email, and for the benefit of others : Citrix basically lets each user see what appears to be their own computer. There may be 15 people on a citrix server at any time, but each one is in a separate session. As far as your application is concerned, it is being run by a

Am I right in thinking that DBX is dbExpress? I've found an article by Bill Todd on Migrating Borland Database Engine applications to dbExpress. Will work through it tomorrow as it's after 10:30pm my time. Thanks again Alister for helping me. I sure do appreciate it. Charlie You can get
