Now you can access data from your OpenBase database using Microsoft Excel and FileMaker Pro. With the Actual ODBC Driver for OpenBase, you can connect quickly and easily to your database. The driver's setup assistant will walk you through the steps needed to connect - in most cases you only need to supply two parameters!
Use Excel to Connect to Your Database
Microsoft Excel has built-in support for ODBC database queries (when used with
Microsoft Query). Use our ODBC driver to connect Excel to your company's
OpenBase database. Then you can use the information from the database in your spreadsheet
formulas and charts and graphs.
See our list of featured compatible applications for other
common programs you can use with our drivers.
NOTE: The OpenBase driver is for OpenBase databases from OpenBase International. If you need to connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite, please see our Actual Open Source Databases driver.
Easy Installation and Setup
Unlike other solutions, the Actual ODBC Driver is a single driver that installs only on your Mac - there's no need for complicated "multi-tier" or "bridge" installations. Use the included setup assistant to configure your ODBC data source, and you'll be connected to your database in no time.

The setup assistant walks you through the process of configuring your connection. It prompts
you for the information it needs. If you have configured connections previously, it remembers
the parameters you entered and allows you to choose them from a list. In most cases you only need to specify two parameters to get connected. The setup assistant includes on-line help and a handy diagnostic screen that will let you quickly resolve any problems. Only Actual drivers give you the reliability and ease of use you've come to expect as a Mac user. |
Windows Version Available
A version of the driver is also available for Windows. You can use the driver with
Microsoft Access and Excel, Crystal Reports, Active Server Pages (ASP) and more.
Installation and setup is as easy as setting up OpenBase itself. With Actual ODBC,
you can use your OpenBase data in more ways than ever before.
