    Error reading password-protected FM in SQL Server

    I'm trying to pull certain Filemaker 5 tables into SQL Server 2000 in
    an automated import job using a file DSN. Everything resides locally
    on a Windows XP machine. My process works fine on a test FM file with
    no password, but with the real FM files, all password protected, it
    fails with this error:

    ******
    Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers

    Error Description: Unspecified error
    [FileMaker][ODBC FileMaker Pro driver]An error has occurred while
    trying to gather a list of available tables.
    [FileMaker][ODBC FileMaker Pro driver][FileMaker Pro]Connect failed.

    Context: Error calling GetRowSet to get DBSCHEMA_TABLES schema info.
    Your provider does not support all the schema rowsets required by DTS.

    ******

    This happens whether or not I supply a password to the SQL Server job.
    It has been nagging me for days and I can't find any documentation on
    it. Has anyone else encountered this?

    Thanks very much.

    Scott,

    Do you have Filemaker open on the SQL server desktop? Filemaker 5 requires the file(s) used in OLE be open for the Filemaker supplied driver to see it. This is true even if the files are served out by FM server.
