In addition to what Thomas adn Dmitry have written: If fb is running as
application, there is one more thing you should take care of: Where is
firebird installed?
%ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(X86)% are under some protection, so
that a regular user will have problems to change data.
AFAIK fb running as application will run with current user rights, so
that may be your problem.
If running as Service, fb is running in system\service context and
should not have those problems.
