Yes, the problem was that a InterBase server was running on my system and
that the FireBird service hadn't been started by the installer. The
InterBase server was originally installed as part of Borland Developer
Studio, and have apparentlt always been runing while I have been using
FireBird, so it didn't occur to me that the problem were caused by
InterBase....

How can it be working at all when both servers are running at the same time?

And no I don't plan to use a FireBird beta at my customers. :-)

Thank you for yor help.

Cannot tell. The ODS version of a database created by Fb 2.0.x is 11.0. The
ODS version of one created by, or restored under, Fb 2.1 is 11.1. Fb 2.1 can
read ODS 11.1 or lower. Fb 2.0.x can read 11.0 or lower.

If you didn't restore your ODS 11 database under Fb 2.1 then its ODS is
still 11.

From what you describe here, it has the symptoms of an InterBase server
trying to read a Firebird database...in both cases.

Certainly. (I hope you're not planning to run your customers' production
sites under a Firebird beta...)
