OK .. I did just that.
Set up everything as you suggest in document.
FB_USER added to users.

One big problem .. now even local I cannot logon to Database, as I'm not
FB_USER. On Remote PC's how do the persons become FB_USERs.

I logon to the XP server as user ADRIAN
Do I need to create groups ?
Please some more pointers .. PS now at least no folders just shared .. so we
are getting there.

Thanks Si

Adrian

This guide (http://www.tectsoft.net/products/firebird/install/default.aspx)
also works on XP Pro.
