Helen,

After you advising me that there was in fact no CS for win32, and that the
API was identical, and also after reading differences between CS and SS
(specifically to do with file locking), I decided to try the application and
database combination using firebird SS.

Worked a charm, no more locking issue.

I thank you very much for your help in regards to this, you gave me the
understanding and background I needed to solve this problemo.

Much appreciated!
