Server as service -> EIBInterbaseError, unavailable database

rbuser

When I run the program on the server as a program it works just fine.

When I run the program on the server as a service it doesn't.
It does show the autosearch parameter of the selected report. (which
indicates of course it finds the report).
When I fill out a value and continue, i receive the error: "EInterbaseError,
database unavailable"

Is there except for the following something else I should do?

- Add "rsServerActiveX" to the uses clause in the interface section
- Run "ProgramName /regserver"

- Install RBWinService.exe
- Change the path of the service
- Start the service?

Yes, Interbase Server is running as a service on a machine with Windows 2000
SP3

I researched this issue and have now written a Tech Tip:


---------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: RB Server and Local Interbase
---------------------------------------------

Local Interbase is a desktop database solution and has built-in
connectivtiy limitations. One such

limitation is that a Window Service application cannot connect to it
unless the service application has

permission to interact with the desktop.

Therefore if you are running a report server application within the
context of ReportBuilder Services,

you will need to modify the properties ReportBuilder Services.


Modifying ReportBuilder Services Properties
-------------------------------------------

1. Access the Windows Service Manager

2. select the ReportBuilder Services item.

3. Stop the service

4. Access the service properties dialog by Double-clicking on the item
(or use the right mouse button).


5. Select the LogOn tab


6. click the checkbox labeled "Allow service to interact with desktop."

7. Close the dialog

8. Close the Windows Service Manager

9. Use the RB Services tray icon application to start the server.
