Quebec City Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I run my VB program in single user (locally) and all goes very well... When I want to access to the server, I type the server adress in the ODBC and It doesn't work... runtime error of communication... does anybody can help me?

Mariano Peterson Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 FileMaker Server does not provide an ODBC data source, only FileMaker Pro clients expose themselves as ODBC data sources. You'll have to set a computer with FileMaker Pro aside (leave it logged in and connected to the FileMaker Server) to act as the ODBC server for your third party applications (your custom VB program). Oh, and FileMaker requires you to use FileMaker Pro Unlimited as the client software on the machine that you pick as the ODBC provider for FileMaker (their licensing requires Unlimited whenever you connect a third party application to to FileMaker). Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Are you using a runtime? I didn't think runtimes could network... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
