Will do Roy, once I have really figured out that its not just me doing something stupid.

The strange thing is the fact that I can create the remote stores using SQL, but not using the EDBMgr.

I have always only used ANSI (on EDBSRVR and Session), in terms of the config files I created them prior to UNICODE, so I guess they are ANSI.

Adam and Sanjeev,

You are right, I've just managed to reproduce it here.
Please report it as a bug.

In addition, trying to interactively alter an existing remote store generates the same error.

Thank you so much for this support. These forums are amazing.

I am really glad I was not doing something stupid which might cause some other problem for my database.
