Your demo worked fine, it is my app that has that error. I think it's
something to do with the collate type - may have to recreate the
database using a different collate type.<br>

the sql

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman"
size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for that Trevor, that
got rid of the
"unavailable database" message now! (which is very good). I think I
may have a version issue though, cause I'm getting an error about
"Implementation of text subtype 52 not located". I am using Firebird
1.5 and the embed zip that I downloaded said to rename the embed.dll to
fbclient.dll (gds32.dll was supposed to be for backward support). So
now I'm a
bit confused - should it be fbclient.dll or gds32.dll? gds32.dll seems
to
connect ok, but maybe I'm then using something incompatible in the
database?
Aren't Fridays fun?!?!<br>

Cheers,<br>
Phil.<br>
