I didn't know if NFA was supposed to support named pipes

I did not know about the Runtime Server Support and the ability to
force a username and password. I will search through the online manual
and the website, but I haven't had much luck with this before so if you
could give me some pointers here I would appricate it.

Yep, pinging was the first thing I did, and it works fine.

I went to your site and noticed the comment in the tech support section
that I needed a valid support contract for telephone support. If you
would please email me more information about that. I've been supporting
Pervasive since version 6.15 at my organazation but it would really be
great to have some one I could turn to when I needed it. (I waste a lot
of time searching Pervasive's site) (david at safedatausa dot com)
Thanks.
