Accessing data from file maker in Sharepoint site

[rajee.psp]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie in File Maker.One of my client who is having a share point site likes to access a set of data which he is maintaining in the file maker.I would like to know 

-Is there anyway that we can access data stored in filemaker from a share point site?

-How to connect filemaker and share point?

 

Can anyone please help me out wit the details.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Rajee

SharePoint code supports both ODBC and XML, so does FileMaker Server.  The question is more where you want the data flow to initiate from:  Wil FM be pushing data or will SharePoint be pulling data?  I'm guessying it will be SharePoint will be pulling.

 

In that case; from inside the SharePoint you can make an ODBC connection to your files hosted on FileMaker Server Advanced (you need Server Advanced) and you will need a DSN set up with the FM ODBC drivers

 

Alternatively you can use regular FileMaker Server and get to the data through the XML interface.  Developing in SharePoint is typically done in a .NET language so any .NET developer can use fmDotNet (www.fmdotnet.org) to make that easier.

You could always use FMP web publishing and point a sharepoint web part to the page with the data
