Subject Firebird and IIS/ASP

I am having a hard time trying to connect to a Firebird db from
within my ASP pages. Here is the deal:

I am developing a website and I want to use a Firebird database. I
have a Firebird database (of course) which I manage with Database
Workbench (which some of you probably already heard of). I have an
ODBC connection to my database (I used the Open Source ODBC driver
from the IBPhoenix site).

The problem is, I just cannot seem to access the database from
within my ASP pages. I have tried it with the ODBC connection (by
the way, when I have created the connection and test it, it
says "connection successful"). My ASP page then says that it
cannot
resolve the name I have given (I use a dutch version, don't know
how
it is written in the English version, sorry bout that). I also
tried it with the connection string which was posted in the
readme.txt that came along with the odbc driver. If I use the
connstring, I get the message "unavailable database".


At this point I am startin to wonder whether it is possible to use
Firebird and ASP together. If anyone could help me with this, I
would be very happy.

Thanks in advance
