Filemaker 8 ODBC

[tstocksql]

Hi,
I need to connect to FileMaker 8 Server through ASP.NET. What is the connection string?

Well, I don't personally have any experience with FMS8 and ASP.NET so I can't really answer your question with certainty but since nobody else has offered any help I will point you in this direction:

I think this is one of the more common methods of getting FM databases published.

Good luck,

Um, no. tstocksql wants to connect to the Filemaker database, query the data, display returned data, manipulate and update data, etc., from an external application. This is doable thorugh .NET applications with ODBC-compliant DBs and OLEDB sources such as MS SQL Server.

I'm not sure of the ODBC connection scheme for Filemaker. They tout it as being ODBC-compatible, but I've never received a straight answer for the functionality that tstocksql is seeking.

Thank you for the feedback on this. As soon as I solve this issue I will respond to this post with the how to.

There's a solution for JDBC connectors and ColdFusion:

But I think you could use the general idea to get connected.
