Mikaymikz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Hello world! :grin: Has anybody encountered the type of error below when trying to connect Vectorworks with a Filemaker Pro file from a different PC host? *Points to Consider: 1. I installed 32 bit client driver but it does not reflect when I access ODBC so I cannot start the process to connect to database. 2. I installed 64 bit client driver but it gives me the error below, Message: "[FileMaker][FileMaker] xDBC client must be on the same computer as FileMaker Pro" Thank you in advance for the assistance! :blush: Sincerely, Mikay Edited October 21, 2014 by Mikaymikz Quote Link to comment

Datagrace Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Do you mean VW is on one box, Filemaker is on another, and Filemaker is local, i.e., not hosted from Filemaker Server? If so, that is expected behavior. A local Filemaker client will connect only to an ODBC source on the same box.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Alexandra Beshevlieva Posted May 25, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes If you are using FileMaker 13, you need the Server edition to use ODBC. If the machine where Vectorworks is not the server machine, you need to enter the IP address to the server in the DSN. Quote Link to comment
