Using FM Pro 7 as an ODBC source

I need to access a Filemaker Pro 7 database via ODBC, but cannot figure out how to share the db via odbc. Filemaker help says to share by selecting Edit>Sharing>ODBC/JDBC. The problem? That menu choice does not exist (I am using FM PRo 7 Developer). Only Filemaker Network and IWP options are available.

I have enabled ODBC permissions and made an ODBC driver using the DataDirect 32-BIT SequeLink 5.4 driver. But until I can share the file with ODBC, I cannot connect to Filemaker as a data source.

I have also searched Filemaker's online Knowledge base without success.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I figured it out: I have a third party SQL plugin loaded for accessing sql databases, and it removes that menu item from the sharing option.
