So I suspect that the driver was recently renamed from OdbcJdbc.dll to OdbcFb.dll
However, I also strongly suspect that none of this would have any effect on the problem. In particular, the help file has a number of connection string examples, but all of them are the same as what we are attempting here, with no luck.
The file that supplied the driver can be found here:
