User Reviews

• Valuable software for a special need

  Pros

  This software is really great if you need to connect a FileMaker database to a SQL/ODBC database. A client of mine has been using it for years. Excellent phone and email support. Very responsive. Often you're dealing directly with the developer.

  Cons

  It's highly refined, and I don't know of any.

  Summary

  I'm a long-time, satisfied user.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br /> This product is invaluable for connecting FileMaker Pro databases to ODBC databases accessed via SQL Server. My client, a financial services company, has deployed this SQL Server driver on multiple computers for about four years. It has proven to be highly reliable. Setup is easy -- especially after the first one. A graphic designer in the client's office sets up new computers with no intervention from me. Support is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable but depends on a limited pool of people. Also see some usage tips I intend to post shortly.

• Actual to the rescue!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been searching for a way to connect to my company's SQL server to import data into a FMP DB. I thought I was forever condemned to use my PC as an intermediary between the two. Thankfully, Actualâ??s product has filled the gap! I can now directly import into FMP 6 from our SQL db! What's more, Jonathan (the developer) literally went out of his way to help me with a technical issue I was having by stopping by my company while he was serendipitously in my city! Certainly, one can't expect house-calls (or business-calls in this case) to frequently occur, but any developer willing to do so should be applauded for his dedication to the customer and his product. Jonathan was able to solve my issue in no time and now I'm happily working with SQL data on my Mac! $29 seems like a very reasonable price to pay for the convenience. Keep up the good work!
