I am going round in circles trying to sort out a link between filemaker 5.5 and oracle. The limiting factor is that I have no knowledge of oracle systems .

I work in a large institution where a large about of information is kept on an oracle 7.3.3 RDBMS database. I am trying to link either from a mac and PC and the message I receive when trying to import into the data is '[MERANT]{MACINTOSH ODBC Driver manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (-1). I am assuming the link to the data source is incorrect in the ODBC control panel.

The department who have set this up have given me the I.P. address of the server, the database name and a separate view name. They have also given me a username and password to access this data.

If you have any information, examples, and/or knowledge on the subject and can help me I would be very grateful, as I am about to give up trying!!

Thanks,

Kieron.

If you look at the previous post "ODBC ms7_SQL " you might get some idea's.

Cheers.

This problem is now solved.

Thanks,
