I wasn't clear there I have 2+ Windows systems trying to connect to the Linux
server, as I have said IB Expert seems to be working, though I may pick up a copy
of IB SQL just in case.

The database is a single file, and has never been split into multiple files then
rebuilt. It has been restored onto this server, from a Windows NT system page size
4096.

Once again thanks for your help.
