PL: Installing the MYOB ODBC Driver

STRUCTURING NOTES - TO BE DELETED

Home > Getting Started Guide > Installation > Pre-Installation

This will be a hub page for all topics related to the MYOB ODBC Driver.

There are six current pages that are related. There is some duplication in at least two of these pages, for example, this is the introductory text on the MYOB ODBC Driver page:

The MYOB ODBC Driver is the component that allows third-party developers to connect their software with MYOB AccountRight v19.9 or lower. Each version of MYOB requires a different ODBC driver. For more information, see MYOB and MYOB ODBC Driver version compatibility.

And this is the introductory text on the Installing the MYOB ODBC driver page:

The MYOB ODBC Driver is the component that allows third-party software to connect to your MYOB AccountRight 19 or lower data file. The correct driver that matches your version of MYOB must be installed. For more information, see MYOB and MYOB ODBC Driver version compatibility. While this driver is usually installed by MYOB at the same time as MYOB is installed, in some situation this does not happen and you must manually install it.

These could be streamlined by including this introductory information on this hub page.

EXISTING PAGES


The below proposal for the structure of this page brings it into line with the template. These are content notes only, content to be drafted once structure is approved. Categories also need to be added once structure is approved.
