ODBC and Server 5.5

[dougvb]

Hi

I am an application developer and quite unfamiliar with FileMaker. I would like to retrieve data using ODBC from a FileMaker database (with a .fp5 extension) that is located on a windows server machine running FileMaker Server 5.5. Is this possible? I cannot figure out what level of ODBC support is offered with FileMaker 5.5. Some information says that two way ODBC data exchange is fully supported. I telephoned FileMaker customer support and as a legacy product they were not able to give a decisive answer but felt that ODBC support was excluded from Server 5.5. Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to access a FileMaker database via ODBC on a Windows Server platform running FileMaker Server 5.5? If so, how? Thank you.
