Hi you all....

I need some help form some pro's!!!

This is the situation: we have mac clients and a mac server. A (homemade) FM database ("Mainmodule") is our CMS running on the server (each client connects to the server for FM(CMS) and the Indesign workfolder). This CMS is the content of our catalogue. We use a plugin in Indesign to extract the data from filemaker, into Indesign. Now this is done through a snapshop file. However I want to use the ODBC function of the plugin to link Indesign directly to Filemaker: bi-directional. With the plugin comes a ODBC dataprovider. Now my question: WHAT must i do to get this to work? What must i do on the serverside and what on the clientside??? I am a designer not a programmer so..spare me. ANY help is welcome!!! ( i have the ODBC driver for Filemaker AND the ODBC dataprovider for the plugin)

Thanks!!
