Hi again,

I solved my problem but I don't know how.
That's what I did:
- uninstall of Firebird.
- installation of Interbase 6
- registration of database that comes with the installation => maybe
that's what unblocked the registry
- creation of a database
- uninstall of interbase
- re-installation of firebird
- creation of database
- no more errors
The mysteries of the Windows registry!
Thanks for your time anyway.

Regards
Frederic
