Subject Re: [firebird-support] Advice on the following problem
Author André Knappstein
In addition to all the more useful advices you already got:
check if indeed your connection string is saying ".FBD" instead of
".FDB".
If it does and in your posting is not just a typo, double check if you
indeed changed the default suffix from fdb to fbd. While your at it,
also check if the slashes in your connection string have the correct
orientation.
