From the subject of your message I assume you have an ODBC driver for FileMaker. If so, use the ADO components and the OLE DB provider for ODBC. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Man Utd Guest Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2006 1:03 am    Post subject: Re: ODBC for FileMaker Hi Bill, Yes, I have the FileMaker ODBC driver installed. However, I cannot connect the FileMaker files. I did the followings: Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources(ODBC)->System DSN ->Add Select the FileMaker Pro Give a name to the Data Source Name, ie. FileMakerMigration. Click OK The System DSN is created. Drop a TADOConnection, TADOTable onto a form. Set the connectionstring of TADOConnection by using the Build button. Then select the FileMakerMigration data source, also fill in the Username and Password, check the "Allow saving password" check box. Click the "Test Connection" button, it is "Test Connection Succeeded". Click OK. Back to Delphi form. Set the Connected property of TADOConnection to TRUE. Set the TableName and Connection property of the TADOTable, lastly set the Active property of TADOTable to TRUE. Then I got an exception: "[FileMaker][ODBC FileMaker Pro driver][FileMaker Pro]Connect failed. The FileMaker files is version 5.5 and the driver I downloaded is for version 7, is this the cause of the problem? I think it should be backward compatible.

I know nothing about Filemaker but that is a possibility. I suggest you try using a TADODataSet instead of a TADOTable and see if that makes any difference. If not then the driver is the next place to look. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Man Utd Guest Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2006 5:03 am    Post subject: Re: ODBC for FileMaker Hi Bill, I just wonder as in the setup of the System DSN, I cannot define the Datasource Name with the absolute path, but just a name, it that true? So how does the TADOConnection know where is the database ? "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote in message news:43fd08e1$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

It depends on the database.
