You need a client application to use the driver and connect to the database. Just google for it.

With the ODBC driver installed you can still Test the connection.  Connections fail when configuring the driver to connect to the PVD database.  However, in addition to this, I have installed and attempted to connect to the database using the following clients:


* Firebird Maestro
* Interbase & Firebird Development Suite
* DB Workbench Lite
* IB Easy
All of which say they cannot connect to the database.  I get a similar message from each client, something like "unsupported on-disk structure".

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

I really appreciate the assistance.

Thanks,
CD

There should be an option if embedded server should be used which needs to be selected.

Nono recommended JDBStudio as a possible Firebird client since it is free, but with it I am still getting the error.  Nowhere am I able to find a connection option to indicate an embedded server.  Which client are you using?

Thanks for your help!

Disregard my post above (although I'd still be interested in knowing which client utility you are using).  With the trial version of Firebird Maestro I was able to find the option for indicating connecting to an embedded database, and then I was able to connect just fine.  Thanks for steering me in the right direction  :)
