I will do, thanks again.
Right now I have such an idea that IBExpert could be storing info
about the path-to-the-msgfile into the user's Active-Directory account
("documents and settings"); that way it could be transported from
notebook to client-pc.

NO! Such I would never do *shiver*.

YES! I am using firebird for production purposes already and therefore
I am sticking to 1.5.2 4731 for all components.

Only difference is that I have one Classic installed on our main (and
Firebird-only!) server and several Superservers on other machines for
testing and demonstrating.
