  Hi

  I have to create a link to a Filemaker Pro Database (SQL Server -> Filemaker Pro) I have the ODBC drivers installed on the server. But the documentation in creating a Linked server is obtuse. I have also found that there are issues with the ODBC driver. However I can connect to a Filemaker database using a system DSN.

  TIA

  Hi All

  Found the solution to my problem I downloaded ConStrCr.exe from to create the ODBC Connection string.

  What definitely did not help was the fact that the documentation on creating a linked server is worse than useless..
