I don't know if it possible to link DBEs and TurboImage databases across
multiple computer, but across different account I know it is! (because I did
it)

First, you have to connect to your DBE with DBA privilege and create a new
user (user@account) which corresponds to the Image database creator. That
user must also have DBA priviliege in the DBE.
Then you have to define a maintenance word to the DBE. This can be done with
SQLUTIL setdbemaint command.
Then, log on as the image database creator. Within IMAGESQL, do the SET
SQLDBE with the option MAINT= (or something like that). Set the TURBODB and
then ATTACH.

I tried a few things before I found out, so there might be an obsolete step
here above. However, I remember that I haven't found a way to attach when
logged on in the DBE account.

Hope this helps
