Hello

It's exact.
When i turn off system restore, all is ok...

Thank you very much for you help.

What i don't understand is why windows make a copy of the database
the first time the computer boots...
And why this database and not another ?
But this questions are Microsoft windows questions, and no more
firebird questions...

Thanks...

Jean-Pierre
