Yes I'm committing the transaction. In EMSs case it doesn't give me an
option (I'm guessing it does it implicitly after adding the UDF) but
in isql I add the UDF then do an explicit commit and it's still a no show.

You're pardoned :-) I'm most definately adding it to the database that
I'm trying to use it in.
