ODBC-Driver for Filemaker

Oct 27th, 2008

Hi @ all:

I've been looking for an ODBC-Driver for Filemaker.
I've searched the web for hours, but i always found Trials of ODBC-Drivers, and that Trials were only for MAC OS.
In an other forum, people where talking about a DLL, called "fmfmp50.dll", which should be an ODBC-Driver, but i cannot find any download.

Do anyone know where i can find ODBC-Drivers and/or that dll?

Best regards

I see...

The newest Versions of FM are containing an ODBC-Driver, does the Developer Edition contain the ODBC-Driver, too?

Best regards

If you're using FileMaker 9 (and probably previous versions though I don't have the installers at hand to check right now), they're in a folder called xDBC on the CD/installation package.

FileMaker is actually wholly owned by Apple... In my experience there are more drivers for Windows than for OS X - and in general, there are more FileMaker users on Windows than on Mac...
