>From the 2.5 Quick Start Guide: "Windows Embedded now contains a SuperClassic instead of a SuperServer engine. File locks are shared, so a database can be accessed by one or more Embedded servers and a regular Classic or SuperClassic server at the same time. Consult the Firebird 2.5 Release Notes for full details." Cheers, Paul Vinkenoog
