Hi Mike!

I'm sorry I can't be any help, but one of my customers is getting
the same message at one of our sites. I have not seen this at any
of our other sites and we have quite a few out there (hundreds).
The thread I started is titled "Firebird.log message" from 6/23. No
one has replied with any information on what the (4294967295) code
might mean but it is the same as what you are reporting.

Our user having the issue is running a Windows 2000 Server with
Terminal Services, Firebird 1.5, a Delphi 6 app with IBX
components. This is a similar configuration as many of our other
users.

Thanks,
Steve
