I got the above to work on a Win2k box.

I have set up firebird.conf as:


ExternalFileAccess = Restrict 'UDF'

UdfAccess = Restrict 'UDF'

Initially I had set the
UdfAccess = Restrict 'UDF'
only

All I get (when I add a view that uses string2blob, which has been
added as a UDF) is:

Access to UDF library "fbudf.DLL" is denied by server administrator.

(I am logged in as SYSDBA).

My set up is as recomended (dll inside udf directory etc etc).

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers
