I have FMP 7 Developer. I have databases that connect to an Oracle database to pull data down from certain Oracle tables. I need to be able to give a database solution to another employee. This employee doesn't have FMP. The likely hood of this employee being able to get a licensed copy is slim. I figured that I could create a Runtime app so that he could use the app to run the monthly reports so I don't have to.

Here is what I did. I created a Runtime app and then ran the application and tried running one of my scripts that has the ODBC import function in it. The script immediately canceled and asked if I wanted to continue. I ran this on my machine so everything should have worked.

My questions are.

Can I access ODBC databases via a runtime version of the application?

If so what do I need to do make this work?

If not are there any other ways to do this?

Runtimes do not do ODBC or network. The file needs to run with a full copy of FM Pro for that.
