I would like to know 2 things about Filemaker Pro

1. What the ADO connection string is to connect to the DB (ODBC)

Hello,
To access a Filemaker Pro database through ADO, set up a System DSN using the Filemaker Pro ODBC Driver.
I use the following connection string:
"dsn=your_dns; Initial Catalog=your_database; User Id=; Password="
I use the .fp5 file extension for my databases.

HTH,
Jeff
