Hi Dieter,

Make sure that:

- You remove the leading #
- You don't use the single quotes. It should be simple Full
- You restart the Firebird Server after changing firebird.conf

It should look something like:

#
# Type: string (special format)
#
ExternalFileAccess = Full


If that doesn't work (after restarting the Firebird Server),
then come back with the error message you get.
