== Writing Data ==
ODBClink provides multiple means to write data back into your accounting package.
The command centre includes a '''Write Data''' button. Using this button, ODBClink will iterate through each data warehouse, data file and import table and record the data available.
A '''WriteData''' macro can also be used and called which behaves exactly as the command centre '''Write Data''' button.
Lastly, the '''Write Data''' macro accepts 3 parameters being an '''import table name''', a '''data warehouse name''' and a '''data file name'''. All three parameters can be used independently and allows you to control/refine how the data gets written into MYOB.
