Connect to FMserver direct?

[AndriesV]

Hi all,

We've recently upgraded to FM6 and I'm now experimenting to see how to make use fo the ODBC options....which I'm afraid seem to limited. However does anyone know if/how I could connect directly to databases/tables hosted by FMServer instead of opening them in the FM client first? If yes could I connect to multi-user hidden files?

Before everyone asks, I'm running Windows.

I know I can tick 'use remote connection' in the ODBC driver setup, but I can't get it to work; I'm sure I missed something.

Thanks for all information.

You may need to have the "Local Access Data Companion" Plug-in selected.

Good Luck.

All databases MUST be open in FM client. Always.
