ESS possible on FMS8 with FMP9 clients?

[eljefejb]

Hi,

It seems to me that one should be able to set up a DSN on a FM8 server, and connect to it from an FMP9 client in order to use the ESS feature of 9. Is that way off base?

I set up the DSN on the server, but when I go to "Manage External Data Sources" in my FM9 file, it can't see the DSN. I would have thought that since the server only hosts the file, if you can open it with the ver. 9 client, you should be able to utilize the ESS feature.

Any ideas? Thanks,

Jeff

That's not going to work, there are code changes in server 9 to make ESS work. It is basically acting as a middle-man for the external data.
