      Tried adding an ODBC source using both MySQL 8.0.22 and MariaDB 3.1.10 drivers in Unicode mode and I can connect just fine, however it's impossible to add a table onto the relationships graph. It sees the table's name but when I try to add it, I get
      This action cannot be performed because the required table is missing.error. It works fine with ANSI version of the MySQL driver, sans the ability to work with Unicode of course. I've tried multiple combinations, including making the database and the table strictly 'latin', it still refuses to add the table. The test database itself is very simple, just a single table and a single field, no spaces and no unicode characters in names. Test/test/test, basically, tested with an empty FM database. The server is running MariaDB 10.4.16. Any pointers to solve that?

      I previously used ODBC Manager (32 bit) to great success importing data directly from Filemaker Server to JMP. I recently upgraded to Catalina (MacOS 10.15.5) and knew that one of the casualties would be this ODBC utility. I downloaded the 64 bit ODBC manager from Actual Technologies and successfully installed it but get the following message when trying to open an FM database from within the ODBC interface in JMP:
      dlopen(/Library/ODBC/FileMaker ODBC.bundle/Contents/MacOS/fmodbc.so, 6): image not found
      I have navigated to Actual Technologies' web site believing I should download an ODBC driver but this comes at a hefty price tag, especially when converted to my local currency. Given the increasing costs of maintenance contracts and SSL certificates I had hoped to avoid further expenditure. Do I really need this and is there an alternative?

      Apologies if I've put this in the wrong place.
      My Filemaker solution uses a FM database and an ODBC connection to a MySql database that is used to serve data to a website.
      I have complete read/write access to the data in the MySql database from inside FM and thus control of data published on the site.
      I would like the MySql database to be able to access tables in the FM database in the same manner.
      I have set up an FM ODBC connection to our FM server and that is visible in my local ODBC Manager, have tested the connection and that is good, but I can't see any way in the MySql apps I have installed on my system to create a table in the MySql database using live FM data, in the same way that I can make a table in FM using live data from the MySql database.
      Is it possible to do this?
      My main MySQL app is SequelPro. And occasionally MySQL workbench and associated tools.
      Thank you.

      I have been attempting to connect to a SQL database on my network using Monkeybread Software and each time that I attempt to do it I have encountered the same error, which I have attached here. I have set up an ODBC connection as well as made sure that I had the names correct, however I have gotten the same error message each time. Thank you for your help.

      When most of the world is forced to work from home, many things you took for granted can disappear over night. Speed of the internet is one of them, performance of your business critical apps follows very closely. The good news is that most of the custom FileMaker apps out there do not use the full power of the platform and they can be made much faster. So let me share a few tips on how you can optimize your FileMaker apps for working from home over the slower-than-usually internet connection.
      Do you know what tools you can use and how you can improve your app's performance to an acceptable level even when connecting from home over VPN?
      For example, one neat trick will make everything appear in the Top Call Stats, not just the 25 top calls...

FMS 16 running on OS 10.13.3. I am not an expert on configuring internet service setups, but having been trying to reproduce what existed on my previous provider. I am now in the strange position where Filemaker client and Webdirect work correctly from computers outside my local network via a DNS address. On the local network Filemaker client. . FileMaker 13-16 databases are hosted on FileMaker Server 14 FileMaker 17 thru 19 hosting With the introduction of FileMaker 15 Server, FileMaker Inc. Has changed it’s End User License Agreement (EULA) and will no longer allow shared FileMaker hosting on server versions 15 and greater.
