Just to establish a bit more information. Firebird is running on the same
machine or a different one?
If it is running on the same machine do they close the application before
closing windows? Actually the same thing applies if this is a workstation onto
Firebird running elsewhere. Is something in Vista holding up the commits so
that while the application can see the data it's not actually 'committed'
properly?
It's been a while since I 'saw' data being lost and that was always with power
related problems. But now I'm using Flamerobin I quite often make a few
changes and forget to hit 'commit' so it's my own fault.
