Check the obvious first.

Make sure the database is inside a folder the user the service is
installed under can see. Make sure the database is not read only. Make
sure the database is not encrypted with your users private key. Make
sure the database path spelt correctly. Make sure there is no other
application that has placed a lock on the file.

Post your Delphi code for establishing the connection. If you are
setting any properties such as the connection string at design time,
also display that.
