It may be that if Firebird is running as a Service as the 'Local System'
account, then it doesn't know about the mapped drive. Your ODBC will test
OK because as a user, it does know about the mapped drive. If this is the
case, you could try changing the LogOn of the Service.

I just installed SS 152 4731 on a server running XP and I get this
error when I run my D7/ADO app against the DBs. Every other aspect of
this install is exactly the same as the dev pc. (DS names/definitions,
etc.) The connection string is U:\MyDatabase.fdb, where "U" is a
mapped network drive pointing to a "D" partition on my local drive.
"U" is a partition on the new app pc. The ODBC manager test
connection worked fine on both machines using TCPIP.

I had this exact same problem on a laptop and a workstation here at
work, and solved it by rebooting the machines. I cannot reboot the
server - too many other apps running on it. Any idea how I can get my
app to run w/o rebooting?
Thx
Sam H.
