1) FB 1.4 is so old that I think my kids are younger (just joking). Bin it and grab the latest 1.6n or jump to 2 2) IB is not Firebird. I have never had success using IB components. There are freeware, trialware, free for not commercial and fully commercial components out there for Firebird. 3) Put an pn before disconnect event handler and trace the disconnect event back to see what causes it. I would lay odds that you have something in an On Lost Focus event somewhere. Mick
