Has anyone tried using Excel as a front end, filemaker pro 10 advanced as a back end via an ODBC connection?

Positive results for people who can't give up excel?

Known issues?

I'm about to attempt the very same. If successful, I will let you know, but if you make it work before them, please let me know.

Good luck.

Hi,

were you able to get this to work?

I could never get the ODBC connections to work.

I assume it is a driver issue, but haven't really tried to solve it.

I am curious if using Excel as a layout is effective, or if there are a lot of problems...

Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you mean by front end... but sure I've made several excel files via odbc from fmp. Mostly for charts and statistics.
