This is only needed when you are sharing your databases to other xDBC connections. The driver is provided by FileMaker (on the install package). It appears that the problem only occurs if you run the mysql installer while the filemaker odbc drivers are in place.Ģ Install Filemaker Pro (select the 'complete option' to install the ODBC drivers)ģ Open the Administrative Tools, Open the Data Sources (ODBC) panel, select the "Drivers" Panel, and observe that MySQL is not listed. 1) there is an ODBC sharing that the FileMaker Databases have and the ODBC sharing on the FMServer Admin is for letting others see them.

If you reinstall Filemaker Pro, after the MyODBC driver is installed, you will continue to be able to see the MySQL. If you uninstall Filemaker Pro, the MySQL driver suddenly becomes visible. However the MyODBC driver *is* installed. If Filemaker Pro is installed with the complete option (which installs odbc support), and then MyODBC is installed the MyODBC driver is not listed in the "Drivers" Tab of the Data Sources (ODBC) administrative tool, and thus you cannot create a new User or System DSN. The MyODBC driver appears to conflict with the ODBC drivers installed by Filemaker Pro (version 5.5 & version 7) ( ).
