How does one set the DBISAM Manager to open Local vs. Remote
connections? Mine insists on trying for a remote connection and I can't
find any way to set it to just use local connections.

TIA, Glynn

Glynn,

TDBISAMSession.SessionType := stLocal

I'm referring to the utility provided for viewing and editing
databases, not a component.

Glynn,

Just before you open a table (or query), you can see a radio group near the
top of the dialog, where you can chose between "Local" or "Remote".

Open the "File" | "Options" menu selection, then select the "Remote"
tab. Set the IP address to the default local host of 127.0.0.1 and make
sure the Host Name and Service fields are blank. Also make sure the
port is correct. Now it will only open with local sessions.

OTOH, if you decide to use both C/S and Local, simply click on "Cancel"
when you try to open a table. This will open the utility in a "local"
mode.

The remote connection I usually use was unavailable because of some
problems local to its server, and every time I tried to connect, I had
to wait out a long pause while the utility tried to establish a
connection. Once that pause was over, I could do as you suggest, but I
was trying to eliminate that pause. JB came up with the solution, but
thanks for the thought.

That only works if you are not running a server locally. If you are
running a server locally as well, then you can use 0.0.0.0 as the IP
address to skip a "remote" session and use local (file/sharing) connection.
