If you haven't already found the answer in the archives, or from someone
else: the problem is the remote console.
when you connect to the database, use " \\<server>\<path>\<db.fdb>" -- even
though you are 'local'. It has to do with sessions; the remote one you are
in and the local [admin] one that Firebird is in. See the 55331 from Nando
Dessena to me on the same topic for more details.
