querying FileMaker data

[keyman]

I am in the process of setting up a CFserver at a client's site, and will end
up dialoguing a lot with FMpro db's on other network servers, or else doing
text-file imports.

Any updates on the efforts above would be appreciated. (Is it easy for FM to
export field-delimited text-files? I have never worked with FM before).

I have this configuration going no problem. I have FM server 7 7 CFMX7. No
problems.
Its really a filemaker issue you are having.
With the sequelink drivers you need to create a system data source on the fm
server/CF server machine. If you can get this source testing ok within its own
self test facility then everything will work ok.
Most of the problems i had were that the fm server xdbc driver (plugin) was
not enabled and that the FM server server was not set up to allow ODBC
connections. BAsically you copy the xdbc.fmx file off the cd into the fmserver
program folder under plugins, stop the service first then restart it. Go into
the fm server properties and make sure the odbc connections is enabled and note
that this actual plugin doesnt doesnt appear in the fm server plugins window
with other ones and this make s you think it aint there but it is. Its a bit
long winded but if you need any help just email me on
