You may be right. To find out, I first used synaptic to remove firebird files
that came from Ubuntu. Then I use a terminal window with administrative rights
to remove every libfbdlient on my hard drive. I used sudo updatedb several
times as I do so to make sure that I had removed every one. I have downloaded
Firebird 3.05 for their website and then installed it. I still get the same
results: an error for the same tables of employee.fdb. The latest attachment
was made after connecting to employee.fdb using the direct connection. I
conclude that the Ubuntu version of Firebird has anything to do with the
problem.
   I download all of my LibreOffice versions are downloaded from the
libreoffice.org. The are the pre-release versions which I try always get the
latest version when it comes out. So, here is an update: I am now using 6.3.4.2
getting this error message. I also have LO 6.4.0.3 which I used as a test
getting the same results: an error message.
