I have followed the procedure in a howto about connection OOo to
interbase, but it did not work. Found an email from someone in Spain who
connect as follows:

JDBC Driver class: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver
URL jdbc:firebirdsql:192.168.1.200:/(pathtodb)/(dbfile).gdb

and make sure yours driver class

firebirdsql.jar
firebirdjmx.jar
mini-concurrent.jar
jaas.jar
mini-j2ee.jar
log4j-core.jar

is in the classpath under openoffice in options->openoffice.org-

>security

I have tried using my ip address, localhost, using forward slashes and
back slashes, and several other variations. Still get no connect.

Java is installed and I can connect to the database using isql.

Any Ideas or a detailed howto that works for this?
