@Jose I tried what you said, it now accepts the strings but it does not find the database: OperationalError: (-904, 'isc_attach_database: \n unavailable database')
I then tried to work directly with kinterbasdb. However, no matter what I did, I couldn't get any success. e.g. >>>import kinterbasdb >>>con = kinterbasdb.connect(host='', >>>database='k:/web2py/fbembed.fdb',user='sysdba', password='masterkey') etc, etc If kinterbasdb does not work directly, then I guess that changing web2py will not help :-( BTW I'm trying to get my entire environment incl. embedded Firebird onto a USB memory stick. Therefore I'm not using the source version and it makes it more difficult to fiddle around although I've now discovered that replacing the .pyc files with .py files in library.zip still seems to work.
