Hi Helen,

Thanks for that - worked a charm. localhost also worked, which I'll
probably put into our script.

It seems a little strange - you think that it's running as a remote
desktop connection? I'm just in a cmd.exe window directly on the
machine (via vmware!).

I've also just figured out another problem - each time I tried to get
into the Control Panel, Windows Explorer would crash... as it turns
out, this is caused by the Firebird control panel applet.

I checked this out a number of times just to be sure - it happens
regardless of which 'mode' the control panel is in.

Just out of interest - I tried Firebird 2.0 and that works fine -
control panel applet no worries.

I should report this somewhere?

Thanks,

Peter Lee
