Mario,

I had a similar problem to yours, but was related to Windows 2003
Terminal Server. If you look at this thread,
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/85078, I
propose a solution that worked for me. It relates to the "Create
Global Objects" permission that was introduced in Windows 2003 and
above. You basically need to put anyone who needs to run your
application with an embedded database in a group and then give add
that group to the "Create Global Objects" permission.

This work-around should allow you to run 2.01 and above until a fix is
ready.
