Hi Beatrix,

obviously I'm not Ruslan.

I don't get it. So what you want to do is to connect from FileMaker  
via ODBC to Valentina, right?

Why don't you go the other way? Use a REALbasic app, connect to  
Valentina (of course using local file is possible) using the common  
V4RB classes and then connect to FileMaker via ODBC.

But of course AFAIK there is no free ODBC solution available for Mac  
OS X, so your customer need probably to pay for ODBC. Perhaps a better  
solution for small amount of data and not often used interfaces is to  
use the build in FileMaker WebInterface and an app the reading the  
data out of Valentina and pushes in FileMaker through the FM-Web- 
Companion?

Just some wild thoughts on a sunday evening,

regards
