> I have been having database corruption problems with a Firebird 2.0.5 database on Windows 2008 32-bit. I checked the forced writes setting and forced writes were disabled. I says to myself I says, AHA this is the problem. So I use gfix to enabled forced writes. I check that there were enabled using gstat. Everything looks good. If I wait a couple of seconds and check using gstat again, forced writes are once more disabled.

What access layer do you use? For example, IBObjects has a forced writes
property at TIB_Connection level, if not set to "default", it allows you
to set forced writes on/off.
