It is not possible with any version of InterBase. The path must always
be the path to a local (to the server) physical drive. If you upgrade
to InterBase 7.5 you can use server side aliases to accomplish what you
want. With server side aliases the path is replaced with and alias
name. If you move the database all you have to change is the path for
that alias which is done in a table on the server.

Worth a try - thanks Bill.
> Bill. How can i get the path if i only know the ALIAS???
Why would you want it?
If you know the SYSDBA password you can open the Admin.ib database and
query the DB_ALIAS table.

Actually the ServiceAPI allows for this. You don't have to do any queries. The
latest IBX should should expose this functionality.

This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus on his mother's
side. I did not laugh; people who boast of ancestry often have little else
to sustain them. Humoring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in
a world in which happiness is in short supply. (RAH)
