I have never used Firebird ODBC and don't regularly use Excel in
combination with ODBC, but most likely you are trying to browse for
databases.
That concept is not available in Firebird, since the server does not
have an overview of available database, so browsing for database simply
won't work, you need to specify the database yourself.
