Re: connect to FileMaker Pro?

I would think the DSN is the same that is defined in the ODBC control panel because a DSN is a system-wide thing. ODBC is like a server that talks to database(s), so a DSN is like an IP address for an ODBC database. You can probably just use odbc_connect("DSNName","","") if you don't have a username and password defined for the datasource. If not, set a username and pass in the ODBC panel and use those.
