Jason (or whoever can help),

How can I go about surfacing the UserID and GroupID fields
in your AlterUser function on TIB_Connection?
I have played around with adding it on to the sections in
IB_Session and IBA_Session but was unable to get it to run
without getting an error in IBA_Connection.IMP. (I do not
really want to have to access the ISC4 database in such a
wide open manner)

I am working on a app to be able to add and change users into
databases while still using your DML routines. I know that I can
access the isc4.gdb database directly but cannot get it to update
records due to the fact that there are no Primary keys in the
Users table in Interbase. I have played with creating a seperate
database that would hold particular access rights to apps for given
users but it still requires access to the User info in isc4 due
to DML requirements.

At present I have a database with user info, id number, application
name, roles _available_ for the given apps, etc. (Using an approach
of having all my users in this database, _linking_ them to the roles
and users in a given database, makes the DML synchronizing useless
if I have several simultaneous users that _map_ out to the same IB
user record)

Any hint would be appreciated.

TIA
