dvalley Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I am rather new to ODBC, but have a situation I need to deal with. We have a solution (FMP 8.5 Advanced, served on FMS 8.0 Advanced) which needs to "talk" to UPS Worldship 9.x via ODBC. I have set the ODBC connectivity on the server and on the client machine using the guidelines found in http://www.filemaker.com/downloads/documentation/fm8_odbc_jdbc_developer.pdf. The client driver uses the Datadirect SQL driver on Win XP pro. I can test the connection from the ODBC control panel, but when I try to map the fields in Worldship, the machine gets as far as asking for the user and password and then locks up. I will talk to UPS, but is there something I am doing wrong in FileMaker? I will also like to pull some data back into FM from Worldship, but am not sure how to do this.

Genx Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi Dvalley, See if this helps: http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/164281/post/246995/hl// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvalley Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Genx: An interesting thread to be sure. I don't think my problem is there because I cannot get Worldship to connect in the initial field mapping step. I don't like the underscore issue as all of our field name have an underscore or two in them these days. I contacted UPS regarding this, so we shall see. Thanks for the thread.
