Filemaker Pro and ODBC

Can't set up FMP as data source

Okay, I don't know much about databases, but I know I like FM more than I like Access. However, I can't connect to any .fp7 files through ODBC.

I downloaded and installed the SequeLink for ODBC driver from Data Direct. I resolved the registry issues that apparently arise when installing this driver, so it now shows up when I go to Add System DNS. But when I try to specify a specific FM database to link to, I can't find one. Only my .mdb files show up as data sources.

I have wasted more time than I want to think about trying to figure this out. I need to do this so I can take leads from my web forms, parse them through a third party program, and plug the resulting data into my filemaker database.

Help would be much appreciated!
