hi,
helen, i apologise for posting this message in the wrong group
earlier.
i faced the problem as stated below...and here is the latest.
1) the problem occored in XP SP2 (i tried on two machines).
2) i tried restoring the same file on the server Win2K (where it was
originbally created), there was no problem at all both on IB 6.0.2
and FB 1.5.2.
3) did not try any other OS.

anyone has any idea.

thanks..
