FileMaker Pro 7.5, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and ODBC
I am new to FileMaker.
I would like to be able to access several FileMaker Pro 7.5 databases from an application using ODBC.
I have FileMaker Pro 7.5 installed on the PC with the databases. The OS is Win 7 Pro 64 bit.
Has anyone managed to get FileMaker Pro 7.5 ODBC working with Win 7 Pro 64 bit?
How can I do it?

Thanks for the replies. I will try Lieven's "trick" and report back.

Lieven's "trick" did the job. Thanks so much. It's a shame that filemaker has to be running with the required file open for ODBC to work but I can live with that.

This is the FileMaker 11 version. If you look in the FileMaker Server 7.5 application folder, Documentation folder, you may find and earlier version of this guide but it certainly won't address 64-bit issues.
