Have you checked the file attributes of the database file in case it
is set to read-only? This would be the case if you transported the
database as a file via CD.
Are you able to connect to the database using isql? If so, do a SHOW
DATABASE and check the attributes at the end, in case it is a
read-only database (which is different from a database file which is
read-only!) If that's the case then a Delphi app won't be able to
open anything in a read/write transaction.
if you don't provide the crucial information about your
connection: access path, protocol, etc., and other essential
information like which server model you're using.
