Thanks Helen.



The client had an older version of firebird installed on his PC,
concurrently with 2.0.3.12981

Even thoug hthe correct version of firebird server was running, he was
getting the error.



When carefully deleting all, and reinstalling, the problem disappeared.



How can I pick this up in the future, and why would it use the older
version, when the server running is the correct one?



Regards



Adrian

When you say "user" are you talking about a server?

i.e., you will get this error if:

a) the server is a Firebird 2 server and the database is ODS 11.1
b) the server is a Firebird 1.5.x server and the database ODS is 11.0 or
higher
c) the server that is really trying to look at the database isn't a Firebird
server at all, e.g., the host machine already has an InterBase server
running and listening on Firebird's port.
