Problem: While trying to run the Database Statistics on a database located on a NT machine, from a Windows 95 machine, getting "The system cannot find the path specified" while trying a GBAK on the same database, getting the following error.. "I/O Error for file :D:/mydir/this/foo.gdb Error while trying to open file. System cannot find the path specified." This person had the database in a directory different from the one InterBase was installed in. He could access/select/update data in the database, from a Windows 95 machine using the Server Manager/WISQL. However, everytime he was unable to do any other type of DBA work on the database like database statistics, backup etc. Moreover, he could do all the operations on the example database in the InterBase directory, including database statistics and back-up. We moved the problem database to the InterBase directory and then found that we could do all operations to this database now. Solution: We found that, he had installed the InterBase server on the NT system few hours back, and had not rebooted his machine. After adding the InterBase directory in the path environment variable and then rebooting the machine, his problem was solved.
