This will only work until Firebird needs to extend the database file and then all kinds of bad things might happen. I would rather store this information in a separate configuration file. Or, if you are a big fan of abusing file formats, you might want to try to append the information to your executable file. The last time I tried this (years ago on Windows), it worked without problems. Cheers, Christian
