Well that sucks! I was going to import this data daily, but that is not good enough for the users. They enter the data in the other system first, then immediately go to FileMaker and do what they need to do. Can you write connection strings in FileMaker? I dont want to have to setup ODBC connections for every FileMaker client..

Hello all. I have a FM7 file/layout with approx 10 fields on it. I want to add two more fields (that are on my SQL Server from another application) I already created the DSN in control panel. I would like to just add these two fields on my FM layout. One of the SQL fields is the same as my key field in FM. How can I do this?

Help me with ODBC and FM Server 8
Jack Tripper replied to Jack Tripper's topic in External Data Sources
OK, well I figured some things out on my own. I installed the ODBC drivers from the FM Server Web Publishing CD. However now I need help configuring a new DSN using the datadirect driver. -
Im new to FileMaker development and have a few (simple) questions. First, what does one need to have ODBC capabilities with FM data. For instance I want the ability to query FM data through excel spreadsheets, SQL DTS, etc. I installed FM Server 8 and Server 8 Web Publishing. Do I need another disc? Please help me get started!

I logged into my FileMaker application today and everything looks fine except it's not populated with any data! I can do a "Show all records" and it seems to return the proper amount of records but all the fields are blank! The file size looks nice and normal. Any suggestions?? I appreciate it

Ever since I upgraded to FM 7, it takes forever to print to .pdf. Anyone else experienced this poor performance when printing to adobe distiller after upgrading?
