I looked into this at one time but didn't get far. As I understand it, the FileMakerPro Developer has ODBC drivers for FileMaker. This is the key piece that is needed. Once you have this, you can have MS Access work with the FileMaker database files. Check out http://www.filemaker.com/products/fmd_home.html Looks like this product lists for $499. What ODBC drivers are you using? What version of FileMaker are you running? What version of MS Access and Excel are you running? I would be interested in trying to figure this out with you.

It is very likely that there are others who have successfully made an ODBC link to ebase, but no answer to your question probably means that no one has stumbled on this problem, or has a solution or a helpful suggestion.
