gsec is the commandline to administer firebird, what I am suggesting is to run a command line from within your application, and feed it parameters.
MyList='gsec <stuff that makes Firebird dance>'; WinExec(PChar(MyList) , SW_SHOWNORMAL); I take your points, but I stand by my opinion, users should not control passwords. You should make sure your users understand that if they change, and then loose the password, that they are stuffed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stevio Sent: 21 August 2008 19:49 To: Delphi DB Subject: Re: Creating a user from within Delphi > Not answering your question directly.

But you are assuming that there is a dba admin. A lot of the time with my application, other than installing Firebird, the end users will not know much about Firebird.
