Connection for ODBC and Filemaker for Vectorworks on Intel Mac has the same problem, I could never solve it for years.
on my Mac ODBC works with  Filemaker directly, without any problem, but it never worked for sharing with Vectorworks.

The Error screenshot shown above is specific only to Vectorworks.

After my I struggle I forced to use SQLITE. It works for Vectorworks and does not need ODBC part of Vectorworks.

For a while Filemaker Pro ODBC was working again (at least on a Mac), but SQLite was far really more reliable with a direct connection. However in Vectorworks 2024, the option to connect to SQLite is not available at least not in current build 1. There seems to be an error in the connection dialog box so SQLite is not showing. Aargh!

 

There are only options for ODBC or manually typed connection string. I have tried various, but none work to SQLite databases. Anyone have any similar experience? 

 

Please VWX supply a fix as soon as possible.
