I have modified the command which they have given me... to
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\bin\gfix" -v -f -user "SYSDBA" -password
"masterkey" c:\develop2\contacts\contacts.gdb

and get the error message
"bad parameters on attach or create database
-secondary server attachments cannot validate databases"

...which I cannot find on IBPheonix.

Any suggestions?
