connecting to filemaker pro 7 using access and odbc?

[Dean_Kelley]

I am trying to connect to a filemaker pro 7 database using microsoft access
and odbc and cannot get it to work....
Can anyone help in getting this to work..PLEASE?

I've done a little work with FM7 and a lot of work with ACCESS, though I
haven't actually tried to connect one to the other (seem to recall that FM
claims it can be done?). Which driver are you using? What have you tried so
far?

 

[Amy Blankenship]

What's the point of trying to connect the two anyways, since FP is as SQL
unfriendly as it gets?

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

It's a way to import the data into Access.

I had to do that with a Notes database, since they're just as SQL
unfriendly.
