DB Server connection fo Filemaker?

Classic Servoy
1

I see there is a “filemaker” option in the DB Servers preference pane. I tried to use this to connect to our Filemaker system, but no go. I haven’t been able to dig up any information about this feature, either on these boards or in Servoy’s documentation. Anyone know how to make it work? DOES it work?

I’m trying to connect to a FMSA 8 setup. I can define the connection in Servoy, and the connection shows up in the solution, but no FM tables or fields come thru.

It would be fabulous if this works - I could show our Filemaker clients A-B comparisons of Servoy Vs Filemaker, both using live data. It would also enable a gradual migration from FM to Servoy, dissolving the hard “go live” cuttover.

Thanks,
Bill
