Hi Adaryl,
Check out this link:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/documents/filemakerdw.htm
It
explains how to set up an odbc connection to filemaker for use with ASP pages,
but if you follow the directions to set up the data source on your CF server,
the administrator should recognize the datasource.
Hope that
helps, Ramsey

to upgrade? Sure, but it involves flying pigs and a backwards rotating
earth. No seriously, this thing is the heart of the organziation. If i were
to replicate it it would have to be updated every minute. But it is
something I can look into, at this point Im not tossing any idea out. FM is
pretty low powered im not even certain it has something akin to replication
services. A.

- Adaryl,
-
- A few thoughts, try tricking CF & Filemaker. Maybe you can
use an MS SQL odbc driver/connector. Or, maybe you can setup some
form of replication or linking between say, Access or MS SQL and the
FileMaker. Then, use CF to access the new DB.
-
- Can you just force them to upgrade to a different database?

- Greetings all,
- I work in a primarily Mac environment (yes i know..pray for me). The
organization has a database in FileMaker Pro 5 (on Mac of course) that is
mission critical (I bet you already know what Im going to ask). The first
time I tried to access it 2 summers ago from CF which sits on Win2k server
it was not possible. I was wondering if in the year and a half since
someone has created a working ODBC driver or is there anybody else that
has some sort of workaround? I'm all over the internet without much
luck.
