that the local database
must be truly local when using fbembed. i.e. you can’t have a
connection
string like: “localhost:c:\databases\mydb.fb”, it must be just be
just “c:\databases\mydb.fb”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the embedded server zip
file and read the instructions and it still doesn't work, but I'll get
there.
I'm sure it's just a matter of having the right file(s) in the right
place.<br>
