IBO and Firebird. Are you sure you're not running an InterBase server
there? Firebird had CURRENT_USER from v.1.5 onwards. There's no
reason why Firebird would barf on it. Sounds more like IB running
there and using IB's message file...or maybe Fb 1.0.x and *its* msg file.

I'll do as you suggest.

Thanks again.
