| The MYOB ODBC driver requires '''Read''' and '''Write''' access to specific folders in order to function properly. This is typically a problem when running third-party software from a Terminal Server environment. In those environment, IT Administrators typically lock things down to ensure nothing breaks. As a first step, we recommend you get your IT Administrator to verify your permissions and grant you '''Full Control''' to the following locations.
