url= jdbc:borland:dsremote://remotehost/path-to-jds-file

Of course, you have to actually START the JdsServer process on that 
remotehost machine, so that it is listening on the default port (2508) 
for connections.

The connection URL's, etc, are all detailed in JBuilder's help files.

Thanks Lori.

I have tried the following:

url= jdbc:borland:dsremote://OTHER_PC_NAME/c:/Program Files/MYPGM/mypgm.jds

and

url= jdbc:borland:dsremote://localhost/y:/Program Files/MYPGM/mypgm.jds
(when the OTHER_PC_NAME's C is mapped to Y).

I have shut down both firewalls but I always get:

connectNow-e:com.borland.datastore.driver.SqlState: Network Error: 
Connection refused: connect

What can the problem be?

You didn't actually confirm that you started the JdsServer process on 
OTHER_PC_NAME or localhost...

Assuming you have done this, the easiest way I know of confirming that 
it is up and working, is using telnet -

telnet OTHER_PC_NAME 2508

Also, I would try to get this working with a path that HAS NO SPACES.

Can you verify that the JDataStore is actually running on the server you
are trying to connect to?  How exactly are you starting it?

When the db-files reside on the same PC as the app is running I don't 
"start" anything. I just connect as described. This is the preferred way 
for this application since the users would have no clue on how to have a 
db-server up and running. What they want is just to have the db-files on 
a PC with scheduled backup and power backup etc.

Question: If I start the jds server, as a test, wouldn't it be a 
conflict with the number of users for the single user license? If I open 
the db using jds Explorer I can't start my app because the db is already 
open.

If you are using jdbc:borland:dsremote as the URL protocol then you MUST 
use JdsServer, whether the files live on the same machine or not.  If 
you don't want to use JdsServer, then you MUST use jdbc:borland:dslocal 
as the URL protocol.

JdsServer allows remote access to your database.  If you connect with 
JdsExplorer, then that is one connection, and you can't start another. 
If you connect with your application, then that is one connection and 
you can't start another.  If there is only one connection to JdsServer, 
then ...

Thanks Lori,

After your and others help I did some testing and it turned out to be so 
simple as to map the network drive and give the path after dslocal (i.e 
...:dslocal:z/dbdir/). Somehow I thought it had to be a remote connection.
