ODBC connection to FM - ebase
I am trying to make an ODBC connection to FileMakerPro Server, Windows
2000, which is running the non-profit eBase application for FileMaker.
I think I am doing everything OK, but get a response that no
Filemaker tables can be found.
Presumably this is because eBase uses non-standard extensions, i.e.
..102 instead of .fm, etc. for the FileMaker Pro tables.
Is there anyway to get the ODBC to recognize the non-standard
extensions?
Or is there some other problem?
Thanks

To connect to FileMaker using ODBC, you have to set up Local (or
Remote) Data Access Companion on FileMaker Pro (not FileMaker Server).
FileMaker Server does not serve data to any application other than
FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Unlimited. If you want to access
FileMaker data through ODBC, you have to designate a second computer
to run FileMaker Pro and act as the ODBC data source.
BTW, FileMaker is an extremely slow ODBC data source. If possible,
you should try to get data from FileMaker using its Web companion
instead, which is much faster. You have to send it HTTP requests, and
get back HTML or XML. This is a little more complicated and less
straight forward than using ODBC, but is substantially faster.
Good luck!
