I'm trying to setup an odbc connection to a database .. with the
lastest stable firebird install.

This is on a virtual private server running windows 2003.

If I setup the odbc connection like this

localhost:c:\path\to\database.fdb

I get this error when I test the connection:

Operating system directive CreateFile failed

The requested operation can not be performed on a file with a
user-mapped section open.

If I setup the path like this:

c:\path\to\database.fdb

then the connection tests successfully, but I then can't sucessfully
start my application as a service using Firedaemon.

The database is not in a shared directory.

Suggestions?
