I'm currently going through my code tidying things up, and in the process I'm changing mapped drives to UNC paths for greater flexibility down the road. The reasoning is that as the system grows, if I add another hard drive to the server, I can just change a particular share and redirect all accesses to that drive. While doing this, I started thinking about the Interbase database too. Addressing this from the clients requires a fiexd drive mapping, but it would be useful to use a UNC path instead. Is that possible with Interbase 6? I've Googled, but can't find any specifics. Thanks for any ideas. -- Dave White SpectraChrom Software www.spectrachrom.com

If you upgrade to InterBase 7.5 you can use server side aliases to accomplish what you want. With server side aliases the path is replaced with and alias name. If you move the database all you have to change is the path for that alias which is done in a table on the server. -- Bill Todd (TeamB)
