[DUG] Firebird 1.5 - unavailable database

[Steve Peacocke]

Thanks Todd,

Interestingly, FlameRobin opens it up and shows me its all fine.
Everything there, allows me to add to it if needed etc.

However, neither "InterBase/Firebird Development Studio" nor "DeZign
for databases v4" come up with anything but "unavailable database"

Database Workbench now sees it as a valid database and exposes all
tables, domains and generators etc. However, prior to using
FlameRobin, it also came up with "unavailable database".

Thanks again

Steve
