We have used the IBX components to create a dialog box component that allows
to backup and restore an IB database. However, the backup database (for
whatever reason) must reside on the original server - we now have a need to
copy that file to a different destination.

Anybody know how to convert the IBDatabase connection string to a UNC path?
Thanks.

Kind regards

Mike

The problem is that the connection string uses the drive/folder relative to
the server and not a mapped drive (for example). Anybody know how to convert
the IBDatabase connection string to a UNC path?

Thanks.

Starting in IBX 4.4 I put the property editors in the source\property editors
directory.  Look at the IBDatabaseEdit.pas file and you will see how that
property editor encode and decodes the string for how you can decode the server
information from tcp to namepipes (UNC)
