ODBC Drivers for Mac (Freeware?)

Post by pink » Thu Aug 21, 2014 2:27 pm

I'm trying to convert an Access database to Filemaker (on a Mac). However, the only ODBC drivers I have found are commercial, I'm wondering if there is a freeware option around?
I don't have Filemaker for Windows, otherwise I would just do it there.

If anyone has any thoughts on this or any other way i can convert an Access database keeping the table associations in place, I would greatly appreciate it.

ODBC connects via the interface provided in the host application. AFAIK there is no Microsoft Access for Mac, so to be able to run Access you'll need to be on Windows.
