Firebird 1.0.x? There was no Firebird 1.1. I'll respond on the assumption
that you are running a Firebird 1.0 release on the Win2K server.

Can you connect interactively to the empty database with isql?

Have you checked that it is actually in the place where you think it is?

Are you trying to run this script remotely from the Fb 1.5 machine, i.e.
with Fb 1.5's version of isql?

Fb 1.0 doesn't support database aliases. If the script is using an alias in
the CONNECT statement, change it to the full path.

By default, Fb 1.0 creates a dialect 1 database. If the script contains
language features that are not supported in dialect 1, the script will
except. If you want to create a dialect 3 database, run the command SET
SQL DIALECT 3; before your INPUT command. (But this wouldn't cause the
message in your Subject).

Can't think of any other possibilities at the moment. The most likely
thing is something funny about the file path. Failing all else, drop the
empty database and include the CREATE DATABASE statement in the script.
