Which exact version of Firebird and FlameRobin (I assume 2.1.1 and
0.9.1)? Is the machine local or remote?

That's strange. I never found a problem like this and I use FR with
Firebird 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1. However, I only use it on Linux, so it might
be some Windows-related issue. Would you care to report the problem to
flamerobin-devel or submit a detailed bug report to

http://www.flamerobin.org/bugs.php

so some of the developers who use Windows can test?

It's either a bug in FR or IBExpert is not using ServicesAPI but gsec
directly.
