Hi Tim,

yes, the path exists. and is defined via the admin-tool.

Thanks,

Ralph

Is the TCSDB database defined on the database server with a non-empty path ?

This is what I do (I do the backups in [database]\backup, so I need a server
path). Asls is a session, db a database

      asls.SessionType := stRemote;
      asls.RemotePort := 12006;
      asls.RemoteEncryption := true;
      asls.Open;
      dbdesc := db.RemoteDatabase;
      asls.GetRemoteDatabase(db.RemoteDatabase, dbdesc, serverpath);
      BackupDirectory := trim(ServerPath) + '\BACKUP';
      asls.Close;
      asls.RemoteEncryption := false;
      asls.RemotePort := 12005;

First, thank all y'all

Please let me remark something else:
IntraWeb and DBISAM works very well together. I just mean in my temporary tests. Like
you all know: Own tests mostly work fine.

But now in the productive/real environment:
If anybody devoloped applications regarding IntraWeb (AToZed Software) and DBISAM, would
there be anything special to remark / mention it?

Thanks a lot to all of you guys there. I hope I can help soon as well, but I am new to
that kind of special requirements, although I have been using DBISAM for more than 5
years. But just local.

Thanks for your help.

Special and many, many thanks to Tim, Eryk, Roy and ALL(!) the others who helped me again
and again. The answers are quick although the time shift is round about 7 to 8 hours.
Thanks.

Best regards,

Ralph

Ralph,

<< yes, the path exists. and is defined via the admin-tool. >>

And you're using:

Engine.GetServerDatabase('TCSDB',sDesc,sRemoteDirectory);

from within the database server itself, correct ?

If you're using it from a remote session, then that's the issue.  For remote
sessions, you have to use this method instead:
