Hi!

Does anybody have a solution what to do when I got "unavailable database" 
when trying to connect
to Interbase (Desktop 7) from Microsoft IIS ISAPI Extension (dll)?
Exactly same code works well when calling from "standard" exe...

I am using native Interbase API with C (not C++! -> using C++ Builder 6 and 
Win32 API) and I know there is exactly same
kind of issue when trying to connect using ODBC and User DSN. Wont work, 
instead one should create a System DSN to allow
inetinfo to connect to database through extension dll. Now, the problem is 
that I cannot figure out where
I set permissions so that direct connect from dll can work as same way..

Do I have to set SYSTEM rights somewhere in windows user policy settings 
(instead than using Administrator) or must I do
something in the C code -> ie. handle windows security descriptors to set 
permission to inetinfo to do it...?? ANY HELP Please!

Thank you.
