Thanks for responding. The DEP problem ended up not being DEP. I
had accidently installed Interbase on top of Firebird when installing

I did discover that with SP1 I now have to prepend 'localhost:' to my
database directory/filename in order to connect to my dataase.
Without it, I would get the 'unavailable database' message.
