Installing FileMaker ODBC and JDBC Client Drivers 7
ODBC client driver installation (Windows)
If you have previously installed the ODBC client driver for Windows, uninstall it before installing an
updated version.
To install the ODBC client driver:
You need MDAC 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8 (available from www.microsoft.com) to install the ODBC client driver.
1. In the folder \ODBC Client Driver, double-click setup.
The DataDirect SequeLink for ODBC 5.4 - InstallShield Wizard appears.
2. Install the ODBC client driver by following the on-screen instructions.
The Data Source SyncTool, Data Source SyncTool Administrator, and SequeLink Online Books are not
chosen as part of the default installation; you do not need them to use the ODBC client driver.
By default, the ODBC client driver will be installed in this folder:
C:\Program
Files\DataDirect\slodbc54. Choose another drive or another folder if you wish.
3. When the installation is complete, click Finish.
The ODBC client driver, DataDirect 32-BIT SequeLink 5.4, is now available for you to configure for
accessing a FileMaker data source.
Note If you have any trouble installing directly, install the driver instead through Add/Remove Programs
in Windows (choose
Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs).
Note If the driver is not listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator, look for the (Default) entry of the
registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers using Regedit
(choose
Start menu > Run > Regedit). The Data for this entry should be (value not set). If instead you see
a blank string, right-click
(Default), choose Delete, and click Yes to confirm. This resets the entry to
(value not set). Uninstall and reinstall your ODBC client driver to see it in the ODBC Data Source
Administrator.
ODBC client driver installation (Mac OS)
If you have previously installed the ODBC client driver for Mac OS, uninstall it before installing an updated
version.
To install the ODBC client driver:
From the folder /ODBC Client Driver, copy the file SequeLink.bundle to either your System or User library.
If you don’t have an /ODBC folder, create one manually:
Library
Copy SequeLink.bundle
to this folder: Use this driver path during configuration:
System /Library/ODBC /Library/ODBC/SequeLink.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ivslk18.dylib
User /Users/<user>/Library/ODBC /Users/<user>/Library/ODBC/SequeLink.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
ivslk18.dylib
