Hi, Walter,

I am using Firebird 1.0 with WIN1252 also (Borland C++ application in
german). Everything worked well, but I got the same error message as
you when I was doing some batch processing with isql (inserting data).

I learnt that the solution was to put

set names win1252;

before the connect statement in the sql script file(s).

Maybe this is helpful to you.
Regards
