Filemaker and ASP

[yechi2001]

A client has requested I use filemaker as my database program as apposed to access. I want to know if asp is compatible with filemaker and if there are any webservers out there who support filmaker databases.

Thanks

To install the ODBC client driver:

You need MDAC 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8 (available from

http://www.microsoft.com)

to install the ODBC client driver.
1. In the folder \ODBC Client Driver, double-click setup.
The DataDirect SequeLink for ODBC 5.4 - InstallShield Wizard appears.
2. Install the ODBC client driver by following the on-screen instructions.
The Data Source SyncTool, Data Source SyncTool Administrator, and SequeLink Online Books are not chosen as part of the default installation; you do not need them to use the ODBC client driver.
By default, the ODBC client driver will be installed in this folder: C:\Program Files\DataDirect\slodbc54. Choose another drive or another folder if you wish.
3. When the installation is complete, click Finish.
The ODBC client driver, DataDirect 32-BIT SequeLink 5.4, is now available for you to configure for accessing a FileMaker data source.
Note   If you have any trouble installing directly, install the driver instead through Add/Remove Programs in Windows (choose Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs).
Note   If the driver is not listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator, look for the (Default) entry of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers using Regedit (choose Start menu > Run > Regedit). The Data for this entry should be (value not set). If instead you see a blank string, right-click (Default), choose Delete, and click Yes to confirm. This resets the entry to (value not set). Uninstall and reinstall your ODBC client driver to see it in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
