The utility you used to make the conversion may have created case-sensitive
identifiers (object names). This will be so if it created them with
double-quoted delimiters. For example, if it created this table with
CREATE TABLE "TBLAAA" then the name of the table is TBLAAA, not "tblAAA".

From another list I note that you used the sql2gdb converter. I suspect
that tool probably applies quoted identifiers to Access data, because
Access permits "illegal" characters - which, in Firebird/InterBase 6.x is
not permitted unless the quote delimiters are used.

cheers,
Helen
