Dear All I'm new to Linux, and even newer to Wine. So, please excuse... I've got a Dell D800 with both Linux and Windows installed. Linux is Debian Etch, Windows is XP. The reason for installing Wine was that I'd like to use FileMaker Pro 8.5 from within Linux. I've installed Wine to the Linux world by: sudo apt-get install wine This worked without problems. In the shell, I cd to the Windows partition (which is mounted as readable/writable) and to the path where FileMaker 8.5 lives: cd /mnt/winpartition/Program File...

Hi all, I''ve got a very obscure problem. We''re trying to get Rails to talk to Filemaker. So we''ve setup an ODBC dsn and via RubyODBC we''re talking to it. Excellent. Try it under rails and rails won''t even startup, getting bus errors anytime we require ''odbc''. Environment OSX Tiger 10.4.6 Rails 1.1.2 Ruby 1.8.4 RubyODBC 0.998 via IRB: ir...

Hi I am told that filemaker follows an SQL standard. We have filemaker pro 8.0 Can I access the database using activerecords or Rails? All I see mentioned is postgres, mysql, etc I found http://rubyforge.org/projects/rfm/ it requires FileMaker Server Advanced 7.0, But the server advanced is 1400$ for education and I ca...

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data. I need to be able to push this data into an array of hashes, so I can access it in a more convenient way. Filemaker is able to provide me with 2 XML formats...

I have been looking for a database application to use in conjunction with R (on a Windows network). When I approached my organization's IT department to ask about using MySQL, they made a counter-offer of Filemaker Pro (v8). It is not specifically mentioned in 'R Data Import/Export', nor do searches of the archives turn up much information. Does anyone have any experience using Filemaker Pro with R? Should package RODBC work with Filemaker, as it is odbc-compliant? (I will be doing some trials any...

Hi, Thought I have been using Linux for a few years, use wine almost every day to run Corel apps on my laptop, and can get small win apps to load, I have not had any sucess running Filemaker. If it is possable- I would very much love to demo the new version of ebase running with wine on Linux at the August Filemaker Confrence. Is there anyone who monitors this group who has sucessfuly run Filemaker with Wine? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------...

Hi, I am new to this list but I have tried to search for answers to this one. Ever since we moved the *.fp5 files off a windows 2000 server and onto samba filemaker is now 20% the speed it was before. It was happening with samba 2.2.3a and I have just recently upgraded to 2.2.5 and it didn't fix the problem. I suspect it's a locking issue and the speed of getting locks on the files. Jeffrey Borg

Hi everyone, I am running ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) and have the latest version of wine installed (from winehq). The application I'm having trouble with is Filemaker Pro 8. It installed without any problems. It opens without any problems. Everything looks normal. I can create a new database and open an existing one. Both work. However after a short period of experimenting (just generally clicking on things) within Filemaker it suddenly quits and Im back to...

Hi all, anybody get connection with Filemarker 10 for mac? How do that? I suppose did right, but it is not working. -- Daniel Marcelino Phone: (647) 8910939 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

We have a customer system running Slackware Linux (kernel 2.4.25) and Samba. The customer was running Samba 2.2.8 but we recently upgraded them to Samba 3.0.13. The customer has a FileMaker database on a public share. Before the upgrade, the customer was able to have multiple concurrent access to the database. After the upgrade, only the first user to access the database was successful. Everybody else received a "File already opened by another user" error. My first tho...

I am writing a application where there is a lot of data in an old Filemaker program that I am going to need to do a 1 time import...1 main table and 2 related tables. I can get the data from Filemaker into a dbf or csv or Excel file without problem. Is anyone aware of a utility for postgresql or a rails plug-in that might make this easier? I am worried about Rails impor...

I am running FileMaker 6.0 via Wine on Ubuntu 6.10. I have a file/ table/whatever it is called Case.fp5 and another table called Actions.fp5. Case is a one to many relationship to Actions, related via the CaseID. Date Closed is calculated in Case: If Last(Actions::Action Type) = "Close" then Date Closed =...

Hi, I was wondering if some Wine wizards would be willing to help me with a few residual issues I'm having with FileMaker 8 Pro on Wine 0.9.3. Something changed between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3, and I'm interested to know what, that made the actual application usable. (an MSI MaskEdit patch fixed the installation issue post-0.9.2, thanks!) Under 0.9.2 typing into a database form field corrupted the field display and...

...be doing this wrong. It does work properly without --prefix in the mix, and i can see how both these methods might add the prefix, causing this problem. Is this a bug? Known problem? Limitation of -- prefix? Or just a confused poster? Thanks! Geoff ? Geoff Coffey | 602.384.1804 9 Tips for FileMaker 9 http://sixfriedrice.com/wp/category/filemaker-9-tips/

Running Wine 1.0.1 in Ubuntu 9.10, trying to install FileMaker Pro 9 from CD. (Install from this CD works fine on Windows machine.) 'Setup cannot find necessary files' message appears when launching setup.exe with Wine. WINEDEBUG=+loaddll on setup.exe gives the output below; looks like all needed .dlls are there. Same problem reported on Ubuntu fo...

Dear All, Writing sooner than I thought I'd need to. I'm using R 2.4 on Mac OS X, with RODBC, PostgreSQL 8.1 and Actual's ODBC driver. I have all my data in Filemaker 8.5, but it is automatically exported into PostgreSQL for analysis as Filemaker's ODBC and JDBC access is awful, slow and has a tendency to crash. I have disability data where for each patient there is a survival time in years from disease onset to a particular disease stage, namely unilater...

Dear list, I have to read some clinical data a file coming from Filemaker on Macintosh (Ugh ! But it could be worse and come from Excel...). Exporting via Excel is out of question since the file has 467 columns and 121 lines (+ headers), which is out of reach of Excel. So I received an "mer"" files, which is what Filemaker exports as a text file. It see...

...and Linux rh9 and swat. We are just a small group of trusted people. I need to create a folder with rights for any windowsuser in the workgroup to: -connect to and add subfolders and files. -read all the subfolders and files. -change in subfolders and files. Basicly we will store the economysystem, filemaker pro server and officefiles. Finally we will back it up to a tape drive or to another media. Is there no easy way to make a share without restrictions? Thanks Per Bäckman

Hi folks, Has anyone out there done port forwarding or DNAT for UDP packets that are normally sent to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255)? I have to support a nasty database application called FileMaker Pro (those of you who know it are probably groaning about now), which uses broadcasts to locate the database server. Theoretically, i can get around this requirement by using LDAP lookups (and this works on the Windows FileMaker client), but due to a bug in the startup code, it doesn''t...
