Quark 4 (Xcatalog) ODBC to FMP 5 on Mac

March 2, 200124 yr

Has anyone had any success getting text out of a Quark 4 document into FMP 5 ??

I found a program called Xcatalog from EM software that's supposed to add ODBC support to Quark so that it can interact with FMP, but I haven't ahd any success in getting it to work.

Using the "FileMaker Pro Online" as the datasource in XCatalog has worked for us. (XP 4.04 and FM 5) The descriptor sets can be a little awkward to deal with at first.

As for ODBC and XCatalog they didn't mention ODBC as an option in the documentation I had(Even though it was there in the options, all be it greyed out), so I can only assume it was one of those "features". However, in the ammended beta docs for the soon to be released XCatalog 4.1, if not released already, they mention a new product...XCatalog Pro that enables the ODBC functionality.
