Claudio,

Thanks for the link.
I tried that and I still no luck. The error message changes though
with the number of trial I made:

Mainly I receive a duplicate on RDB$index_11

But at some point I received (from the top of my head) a window
saying 'initialisation error' and the text was 'overflow or string
truncation'

I also had a message complaining about trying to restore a field with
a NULL value on a non-nullable column: this is a non-nullable colum I
added this morning and did not put any values in it. I then updated
the db and did another backup. I am now back to RDB$INDEX_11.

BTW the database is really small 1MB and arounf 70K GBK, if that can
help, I have no problems posting it someplace.

Any ideas ?

Didier
