Just to let you know, both my user account and the System account have full permissions on both the folder and file. The firebird service is started used the Local System account.

1. Did you try to copy movies.pvd to a local disc and to open it without connecting to a server?
2. Did you try with stopping firebird services first, then to open it from a local disc?
3. Did you install Kroozbox, maybe? If so, try to uninstall it, then open database from local disc?

I really appreciate all this, but I had a thought and have finally resolved the issue.
You can specify the remote server as indicated in the posts above, but you need to pass the physical location of the database file on the SERVER, rather then with refernce to the local machine. So, we end up with a connection string that's:
server:E:\Users Shared Folders\me\My Documents\Personal Video Database\movies.pvd
Still, I'm a little confused as to why UDF notation didn't work, as this is still accessible from the server (i,e, \\server\users\me....).
This might be useful to stick in you solved problem in case anyone else wishes to run the database from a remote location.
Many thanks all. Now I just need to figure out how it all works.
