Devin - thanks for the idea but that's not it. I just checked and everything on my Windows 8.1 system matches case with the database file path on the Linux server. I even tried changing the name of the database file to all lower case but that didn't work either. Thanks...

Ray,

You may have moved your DB file from a system that is not case sensitive, like 
MacOS, to one this is case sensitive, like Linux. Do all of your folders and 
file names have the same exact spelling, including upper and lower case 
letters, as the string in your path variable?

...one other note.  I'm guessing calls to sqLite need drivers. These drivers 
are probably built in to Livecode and the OnRev server which would explain why 
LC's database commands works so well locally and with the OnRev based samples.

If this is the problem, does anybody know how I could install these drivers on 
my own server?

I've never worked with sqLite databases before but it appears I should be able 
to access one on a server pretty much the same as I do locally.

Here's what I've done:
   put revOpenDatabase("sqLite",localPath) into theDbId                   -- 
this creates a zero K local database file

   put "CREATE TABLE bugs(Name char(50), Date char(50))" into myQuery
   revExecuteSQL theDbId,myQuery -- the local database file is no 2 K

   revCloseDatabase theDbId -- close it or I won't be able to copy it to the 
server

I then copy the local database file to a remote server and make sure all 9 
permissions are checked (777).

I now load the well-tested server path into the variable dbPath and try this:
   put revOpenDatabase("sqLite",dbPath) into myResult

but all I get back is:
   Error: Unable to open the database file

Suggestions?
