They do the same thing in IIS. It is a security issue to restrict unauthorized
users from accessing greater functionality. I would suspect this is to stop
hackers being able to use SQL Queries to access the operating system and
carrying out malicious activities. This is probably pa

This is the only one of your errors that I've seen. It's been too long to
remember the exact cause but it was something silly like: bad dll version,
path in uci.config wasn't a "proper" UniData account, privilege file had the
wrong permissions (somehow changed to read only), etc.

No, not on either box (the one that works vs. the one that doesn't). The
