Connect to FMserver direct?

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.

Garry

All databases MUST be open in FM client. Always.
