Filemaker 11 ODBC drivers for ESS on x64

[Dali]

We're running filemaker 11 on Windows Server 2008 x64 and would need to access data on MS SQL 2008 through ESS. All machines are x64 but it seems that Filemaker ODBC drivers are 32-bit only. Does filemaker support x64 ODBC drivers? Are there any 3rd party drivers available?

Thanks!

You don't need the FileMaker ODBC drivers in order to use ESS. FMS connects through SQL Server through Microsoft's SQL Native Client.

Since FMS is a 32-bit process, you need to configure your SQL Server DSN using the 32-bit ODBC Administrator (and the 32-bit Native Client).

Thanks Jonathan,

I was not aware of that. FYI, ODBC Admin 32-bit can be found at c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
