This isn't what you asked about, but I'm curious about a couple of things.

Where does the UDF come into the picture?

If you have some kind of program to extract data from Access and write
it to a file that you can read via external table, why don't you simply
let that program insert the data into the Firebird database natively?
Why go the roundabout way via an external table?
