Default Connecting to a DB without using the local machines ODBC

Hi..

I'm working on a spreadsheet that will connect to a firebird DB.. The
spreadsheet itself will reside on a server in a shared folder..

When a user opens the file up, I'd like for the spreadsheet to use the
servers ODBC connection, and not the client machine.. This way we
don't have to install the Firebird ODBC driver on each client
workstation..

Is this possible?

Thanks
David
