Dear Jason,
thanks but this did not help me.

I gave the "Everyone" group the right to "Create Global Objects" but
received the same exception.

Downgrading to 2.0 was not possible, because this is not offered
as a download on the Firebird download page. I had to downgrade to
1.54.

At least, it works now.

Regards, Mario
