None of the above will change the Forced Write setting. However, in the very ancient version of Firebird that you are using, a client can do it, via the connection API. The very first thing I would recommend is to examine closely the connection settings on all client applications. A common source of this problem is Delphi applications that provide properties and/or arrays of properties in the connection component (connection alone, or database component). If this is your case, look at *both* the property in question (ForcedWrites TRUE/FALSE) and *also* the Params property of the connection/database component.
