Still no luck. I tried it like this and it still gives the same problem
IB_Connection1.AlterUser(uaAddUser,Edit1.Text,Edit2.text,'','','','');

I also tried adding users that already exists on the linux box but to no
avail.

Is the AGroupName parameter only applicable to unix type os's or will
it have effect on nt/w2k servers as well.
