OK fair enough, if its time to change then its time to change. I
have Reworked my test app with FIB+ version 5.3 and guess what? the
problem is still there, in fact it worked on the first attempt with
FIB+.
I really don't believe that this has anything to do with the Client
library. If you like I can try with IBO as well.
