Do you have a firebird server running as well? If you specify 127.0.0.1:c:\my.fdb then you'll be connect via the server (the fbembed DLL can act as a regular network client as well) > And i also heard, that Vista has problems with local protocol > connection to fb, did you (or smbd. else) tested embeded under Vista ? Yes, it works under Vista (I have tried it). I believe the "local protocol" used to connect to the server is totally different to how fbembed works. The "local protocol" uses Named Pipes, I believe and because it doesn't - by default - prefix them with "Global\" you cannot connect from your logged-on session to the session which the service runs under. Note that this also means that the local protocol would have never worked on a Terminal Server or Windows XP + fast user switching environment, either...
