Hi All!

The source of the uncommited transactions resulted to be the Interbase dbexpress driver packaged with Delphi 6-7 "dbexpint.dll" . I tried with UIB FB dbexpress driver also (open source), and the problem continued. Only with Devart's dbexpida,dll I could have transactions open an and commited properly. Unfortunately it's not open source, so we have to buy it.

Thanks All!
Marcelo.
