I'm using windows xp,visual studio 2005, embeded version 1.5.3 and
receive the following error when trying to create a new database file
using overwrite set to TRUE to overwrite a previously created database
file.

here is my code:

FbConnection.CreateDatabase(DBConnectionBuilder.ConnectionString, True)


This is the error message:

I/O error for CreateFile(create) "<filename>"
Error while trying to create file


It creates a new database file without any problems if the file doesnt
exist.

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
