title: Read FileMaker data without opening files/databases first?
body: <p>I managed to read data from FileMaker databases via Microsoft Access' ODBC import wizard. The problem is that every file needs to be opened first in FileMaker itself before it is made available via ODBC/JDBC.</p>
  
  <p>This is an issue, because the data will change and I need to export the data of 150 databases every other week. I don't want to the enter the different credentials for every single database every other week, and wait for FileMaker to tell me, that some linked databases are not found (takes approx. 10 hours of supervision, only to hit the Cancel button).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to avoid this tedious loading procedure? Does FileMaker Server work differently in this regard? (all databases always available?)</p>
