I have a simple PB app that connects to a dbeng7.exe engine database. I
install it on clients PC as a standalone application and up to now (4
clients) they have all worked okay since they are using TCPIP. A recent
demo is not working since the client does not have a network card and I
cannot get IP to run. It is running on XP and I think a shared memory
client should work. I can't remember what I need to do to get the
client to see the engine using shared memory or ? else without IP?

Anyone remember how to get a client to connect to a dbeng7 database
without using IP or any network protocol.

TIA
Joe

Try adding
-x none
to the server command line. This should start shared memory but not TCPIP.

Shared memory is what it should be using by default so I expect you are
specifying your connection parameters too "tightly".

What are your engine start line and client connection parameters?

Turing on the debug information on the client may get you the answer the
quickest.

My command line is "dbeng7.exe -n dbname c:\datadb\database.db".

I have an odbc profile that PB 9 uses that has a start / driver using
dbodbc7.dll. I do not specify any tcpip or any protocol for the client.

Thanks for the help. But I will try the -x none

If you're not specifying any protocol on the client side, then you are
already using shared memory, which means that adding -x none should
allow the server to start, and the clients won't notice any difference.
