Jochen, but do not forget, that operation "REGISTER DB", can execute ONLY
AND ONLY administrator of Vserver.

In 99% cases he will do this operation directly on server.
In fact I cannot image situation:
    -- on server somehow we get not registered db
    -- administrator is not at home
    -- and he now want register db.

I think if db come to server, this means that admin have out it there..

Well, may be here no such problems.
Admin always can connect to own server by telnet.
He can put here remotely db files by FTP,
Then he can write down FULL path of this db file on his computer,
And give to Vstudio info { pait, full path}

So task is easy :-)
You need simply dialog with 2 edit fields:

        db name:                account
        full path on server:    /home/rz/...

What you think about this way?  :-)
