Hi

Further information I have discovered. In a different part of our app
we also do backups and this fails with a 'cannot attach to services
manager'. I have done a web search and see old reports that this was a
problem with IB 6.0 and FB Classic as the services manager was not
implemented in the classic versions. Has it been? Is this the cause of
my problems?
