What are you trying to protect it from? Password protection in Firebird is at server level. Embedded is one embedded server with one client, a single-station model. Any application running on that machine could have the capability to connect to the databases if written to do so (such as Maestro). Database-level protection, using SQL privileges, will keep remote ordinary users out of the data objects in your database if you have a full server running on the same machine. But why would you? >I want to know if it is possible to add a password No. If you want password protection, run a Classic server or Superserver instead of embedded. Cut your coat to suit your cloth. And still do the SQL privileges. ./heLen
