That was very useful... I was having trouble with the DSN configuration in ODBC (I added host=localhost to the key pairs FWIW). I then tested it with "odbctest" (about which I had known nothing!) and bingo! my local MySQL DB appeared and I could run SQL queries on the command line.


Sadly though even after restarting FM 6.0 the data source doesn't appear in the Open... ODBC dialog (or Import ODBC)... frustrating!


Still, it's a start, and thanks again for a helpful article.

    iODBC's Mac Faq has info on how to get Filemaker setup, check out:

    Seems you have to setup Filemaker to use the iODBC driver instead of the default DataDirect driver.

    Hope that helps!
