How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you

Databaseto any path that exists on both the local and remote machines, it acts as ifServeris set to localhost and creates a FDB on the local machine. If I setDatabaseto a path that exists on the remote but not locally, I get a "Path not found" error trying to create the FDB. In other words, it seems to be forcingServerto localhost regardless of what I setServerto. This is D12.2 Enterprise so FireDAC local-only restrictions should not apply.use FireDAC.Phys.FB? Otherwise, I think it defaults to the embedded driver, which can't do tcp/ip connectionsServersetting in the ConnectionDef, I just don't know why. If, after settingdbConn.ConnectionDefName, I set thedbConn.ParamsServerandDatabaseparams again, it then connects to the remote machine and creates the empty FDB. But that doesn't seem right, and isn't in line with the examples. I'm sure I'm doing something fundamental wrong, I just don't know what it is. :(ipTCPIPthe right constant?
