Error when trying to access Filemaker of different PC host


Recommended Posts

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

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.
