I believe by default Firebird will refuse to open a database on a network share. This can be overridden in the firebird.con file. Property RemoteFileOpenAbility = 1. There is a big warning in the sample firebird.conf file.

In my rush to get help i didn't realise something very important. CPTMST001 is the server our database is on, CPTCFS001 is a fileserver we keep other things on.

Before getting the error we use an OpenFileDialog to open an excel file, which is then read and imported into our system. The file I was opening is on the file server CPTCFS001. The error "Unable to complete network request to host \"CPTCFS001\".\r\nFailed to establish a connection." could be related to the fact that just previously an OpenFileDialog was directed to CPTCFS001.

But I'm still clueless as to what is really going on :-(

Thanks again,
Ben
