FileMaker SERVER, remote data access using ODBC??

Hi All,

I am in the process of writing a simple app that will import data from a mysql Db and dump them into a couple of FileMaker Server 5.5 served files. Is this possible?

I can successfully connect to the fm files with ODBC when i am serving them from the FM 5.5 client but can't seem to do so when i am serving them from FileMaker Server. Obviously there is no data access companion plug-in to the Fm Server?? Or am i missing something here?

If i am forced to serve these from the FileMaker Client is it possible to run the client on the same machine as the Server? Obviously with the import files in a different location as the FM Server served files.

Thanks!

The only way is through FM client.

Running client with server might work or corrupt files.
