Classic.

On the other hand,
it could be my problem.
You see it works perfectly well on my system.
But on the testers system it failed.

All our software is basically using the local computer.
Because our software can be used by small groups.

We are testing using.
Super Server ( I don't know what that means )
Local GDB files.
Firebird 1.5.1
Using TIBOBackupService to backup a GDB.
It is when the TIBOBackupService gets set to
Active that the error occurs.
