[firebird-support] Can't open firebird database files from a windows service.

[vtre...@yahoo.com [firebird-support]]

We're in the process of changing an application that accesses a Firebird 
database file from a regular application to a windows service. For legacy 
reasons this uses the Firebird embedded DLL (fbclient) for version 1.5.6. The 
code that attempts to connect to this file always succeeds as a user-type 
application but fails when run as a service. I don't think it should be a 
problem with file access permissions because this same service is able to read 
and write other kinds of files. Are there any special permissions or 
configuration issues I might be missing?
Thanks in advance, VT
