Hi Shawn,
Have you ever looked at:
http://www.profdata.nl/pdm/generic.jsp?taxonomy_id=5
It isn't an ODBC interface _to_ FMP, rather gives the ability to write to
SQL databases from within FMP. The pricing for the plug-in is very
reasonable. It would require, of course, you to write in support into
OptiGold for it. e.g. a "Export to MySQL" function that would utilize the
plug-in (if installed) to take the FileMaker Pro data and insert it into a
MySQL database. This would then allow me to do whatever reporting I
wanted. Yes, it is not a real time solution, but it would be a step in the
right direction.
