Scripts with imports from external data sources

December 17, 200916 yr

I'm trying to use an import records script with FM 10 Advanced for Mac. The data source for the import is a SQL Server database. (Connecting with Actual ODBC driver.)

The core of my problem is that I can't seem to store the username and password for the database I'm connecting to. So 1) everytime I run the script I have to enter credentials, and 2) there's multiple import steps in the script, each from different tables in the same SQL Server database - and I have to enter credentials each time.

There's an option to save the username and password, but it doesn't work. Not sure if this is a bug in FM, or in the ODBC driver. I'll settle for any viable workaround though - entering credentials 30+ times won't fly.
