Newbies Ron38 Posted November 29, 2012 Newbies Share Posted November 29, 2012 I had developed an external data source for all my data. Worked fine. Took application over to a MacBook and tried all sorts of things, something finally worked and application ran fine. Closed, re-opened...files missing (all). Could not re-connect EDS. Cam home and tried the same thing...could not reconnect once I had erased the EDS and then re-eatablished it. (Trying to replicate problem. Now I can't connect via EDS nor can I import tables into my file containing Layouts. Any tips appreciated! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I assume you are referring to ESS (External SQL Sources?) via ODBC Or are you referring to a External FileMaker Source? If it's ESS did you install the System DNS on the local computer via the ODBC manager? - On Windows it's part of the OS on Mac you need to have the drivers installed http://www.actualtech.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Ron38 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Newbies Share Posted November 30, 2012 No I am not using ODBC: this is simply a separate Filemaker DB holding only data - it is in the same directory as the file containing the layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
