Oh, but doesn't local InterBase block calls made from services?

If you're using a fully licensed version of InterBase I can't promise
with certainty that this is the cause of your problem, but if you're
using a bundled version (one that comes with an Inprise Borland product)
then that version will deny connection from anything running within a
service, because it deems this to be a "network connection" and not a
local one, and that would violate the license. Right.

There may be ways around this, other than buying the full product, but I
have not found it. It also affects ISAPI extensions on IIS or any other
ISAPI-enabled web server such as Zeus, because these extensions are DLLs
running in the context of the IIS service.
