Link to Filemaker Pro tables

[mcelligott]

We are in the process of taking over dispatch services for an agency in our area. They use Filemaker Pro 7 for their business and contact information database. We use Microsoft Access. We have a connection to their server.

I would like to create a link from Access to the Filemaker Pro tables. Can anyone tell me how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. Unfortunately I am still at a loss. I looked at the string your link pointed to and am apparently not familiar with where the string should go within Microsoft Access.

I am currently working with a local copy of the fp7 file for design purposes and realize I would have to re-map the connection once I attempt to go live.

Any thoughts?
