Page flow at login, by group

Question

Hi, I am new to this and am struggling to get the Login Page 101 to redirect to different forms depending on the group the user belongs to.
So far I have defined 3 groups, Branch, Central and Administrators. I have created 3 users BU1, CU1 and AA1 and assigned them to a group. I have subsequently been into the user management screens and checked their assignments are correct. BU1 is in Branch, CU1 is in Central and AA1 is in Administrators.
I have defined 3 additional pages, Page 2, Page 3 and Page 4 as well as the Home Page, page 1.
In the login page 101, I have amended the login process, PL/SQL anomymous block (unconditional) to use the current_user_in_group function to test the user group and set the start page (sp) accordingly.
The tests are not returning true by the looks of it, as sp must be staying 1 and the flow sends me to page 1. If I update the assignment of P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':2', then I can force the flow to page 2.
Where am I going wrong please ? I am trying this on a first time installation of Express 10g and Apex 4.02.
DECLARE sp varchar2(1);
BEGIN
sp:='1';
IF(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'Administrators')) THEN sp:='2';
END IF;
IF(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'Branch')) THEN sp:='3';
END IF;
IF(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'Central')) THEN sp:='4';
END IF;
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':'||sp
END;
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advancecurrent user will be 'NOBODY' until authenticated, you will need to test :P101_USERNAME against the group.
