Oh, I see. The example of using the [ServerName] infront of both comes
straight from Helen Borrie's Firebird book on page 829. I will test it
with *your* syntax on my notebook & desktop using Super Server in a
minute.

Yep, the version with [ServerName] infront of both works fine for
Classic Server.

I'll get back to you in a minute regarding the test with [ServerName]
only infront of :service_mgr. Thanks!
