Hello Roman, thanks for the speedy and informative reply. That worked. Now, the server install I'm trying to connect to firebird complains that the newly created DB has been created in the so-called Global Schema. And, that it should be created in it's own database schema (verbatim). At: http://firebird.borlandforum.com/impboard/attach/0000102481/fbrefguide_preview3.pdf the reference says: CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} so is a DATABASE the same as a SCHEMA? How to make this installer happy with firebird? Please advise, David

Yet some, not wise, go to the other side of the globe, to barbarous and unhealthy regions, and devote ten or twenty years, in that they may live,-that is, keep comfortably warm,- and die in New England at last.
