Connect to FileMaker Database

Is there any simple way other than an ODBC connection to easily connect to a FileMaker database using VB6?  Thanks.

RE: Connect to FileMaker Database

Hi,

  I haven't done it with VB, but I've done it with Access and SQL Server. You'll need the Data Direct SQL Driver (which is on the Filemaker CD (or included in the installer if you downloaded it)). Install that, and then check this out http://filemaker.com/downloads/pdf/fm7_odbc_jdbc_developer.pdf


HTH,
