I get it! The database name CONTAINS the hostname =\ host:c:\databasename.ext
This works with 2 ODBC drivers that I get... Only in the second driver there was a minimal tip of achieving this... People are a little lazy 'bout documentation =( Thanx for the help of all of you, now I can start to program with Revolution (and fill this list with doubts, he he he)... [] For those who want to use FireBird and have the same problem o'mine: Use any ODBC driver for FB (I recommend IBOLEDB, which is easier to install and faster to connect), then, when creating a DSN, put the hostname before the path: HOSTNAME:PATH\DATABASE.GDB or FDB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Devlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 11:18 AM Subject: Re: 'bout Revolution and FireBird] > Julio, > > >> > In ODBC with DSN, I can't declare host, thus, only local databases can be > used =( > << > > I have connected Windows clients to remote Firebird databases via ODBC. > Can you provide me with > > - the server name where your remote Firebird db is located > - the port being used (if other than that used with the default Firebird > install) > - the path to the database on the server. > > Which ODBC driver are you using?
