Thanks Alexey,

I've turned off the security manager, and now get past that error.
However, I'm now getting a new error:

org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: Resource Exception. Unable to
complete network request to host "127
.0.0.1".
Reason: Unable to complete network request to host "127.0.0.1".

I can connect to this database using isql with a connection string of
localhost:/mydatabase.fdb but not via Java.

Any ideas, I've tried localhost, 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.200?

Regards
Ian
