I appreciate your writing Dan. Thanks.
You will need the latest drivers from FMP and you need to decide if you are
using ODBC or JDBC
I am to understand that JDBC is better in this application. No?
Setting up ODBC on Mac is a pain. Make sure you have the latest ODBC for Mac
installed.
If you are using FMP 7 then you will want to create a ODBC DB that has a
file reference to all you 6 files if you have not consolidated them and made
them more 7 like.
I made the DB's 7 like by opening them in a workstation copy of 7 and
converting them to 7 format. Then I put them up on the server
advanced version of 7 and they run fine there.
Depending on how you did the conversion you might have a few other issues.
Your ODBC is no longer layout based it is table based so you might need to
change a lot of code.
These are very simple searches and sometimes a mail action.
This is not a simple process.

I am in some new territory and I hope I can get some pointers.
I am bumping up a server from FMP6U Witango 5.5 OS9 to FMP Server Adv
7 and Witango 5.5 on OSX Server 10.3.9. Since FMP server Adv runs in
the background which is real different than I am used to and I am
having a problem getting the datasource to work the same way-
Witango does work with the combination I am trying- right?
I figure I have to rebuild the taf files. They are simple searches
etc. But the datasource is not showing up. I tried FMP and ODBC and
JDBC.
I have to get with the new way of doing things. I was darned used to
the old Tango FM4 OS9 setup.
SO I have a culture shift and need some pointers.
