ok thanks Lester, I will head over there and see whats happening. I like firebird a lot and have used it for years so Im kind of invested in it. In hindsight, perhaps - perhaps I should have gone with MySql (seems like everyone else has :))

You are right about it not getting much love, trying to find a web host that will run a firebird server is very hard and if you do - its usually a lot more than the same MySql service. Not sure why that should be, but hey ho - guess its what the market will bear.

Will head over to the list you mentioned

Cheers,,

Dave
