Hello Mike, Yes, Filemaker 7 understands SQL. At the moment I cannot use ODBC-Access, but today I created a JDBC-Connection. 1. I defined a small JDBC-Description an putted it into "AddOns:Application:DatabaseLink:DatabaseResources" : JDBCDriver[ "Name"->"filemaker", "Driver"->"com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver", "Protocol"->"jdbc:sequelink://", "Version"->1.0 ] 2.Then I just used this simple lines of Code: Needs["DatabaseLink`"] JDBCDriverNames[] out= {filemaker,hsqldb,mysql,odbc} conn3 = OpenSQLConnection[ JDBC["filemaker", "jdbc:sequelink://localhost:2399;ServerDataSource=Aufgabenliste"], Username->"Admin", Password->"Admin"] out= SQLConnection[,1,Open,<>] I also can make a selection based on that connection. But I cannot access the same database using the odbc-driver (I only get the error written below). I know that the ODBC-Connection works, because Excel can access the data. So I have no idea what the problem of using the ODBC-driver might be.
