I am not familiar with Filemaker, but I have inherited a Filemaker (I think v3) database. Is there an ADO.net or odbc driver I can use to extract data?

You can connect via ODBC, also to Filemaker Server you can connect with PHP.
Current version is 10, and it is light years ahead of FM3 .
FileMaker 3 is way way ancient.
There's an ODBC client driver.

I'm using FileMaker Pro 9 and I want to take a database with repeating records (e.g. one field is "Lines" and it can have up to 9 strings) and import data into it from an XML file.

Since the database only had 2 related files and no scripts, it was relatively easy.

Hi All,
I have a client that wants to use Filemaker for a few things in their office, and may have me building a web app.
The last time I used, or thought about, or even heard of, Filemaker was about 10 years ago, and I seem to remember that I don't want...

I'm assuming you're using an INSERT statement to get the data into FileMaker to FileMaker's ODBC documentation....

Hi everyone.
We have a huge web application running on lasso, mainly because it first was a huge internal filemaker database, that was to be opened to the public as a web app.
