Andrew -

Thanks for the reply. I modified my create script to the following:

create database 'e:/misc/firebird/java/javatest.gdb' user 'SYSDBA'
password 'masterkey';
commit;
connect 'e:/misc/firebird/java/javatest.gdb';
commit;

create table MYUSERS (
id integer not null primary key,
name varchar(80)
);

insert into MYUSERS (id, name) values (1, 'mmc');
insert into MYUSERS (id, name) values (2, 'joe');
insert into MYUSERS (id, name) values (3, 'fred');
commit;


The same error occurs.

Regarding IBAccess - I've been using IBExpert Personal, and only tried
IBAccess when my java test app failed. I found it curious that isql
and IBExpert succeed, while IBAccess & JDBC fail with similar errors.

thanks again,

Miles
