Your MYOB installer would have loaded ODBC when MYOB was installed.  We need to check if the latest driver version for MYOB ODBC is already installed on the computer.

If for some reason an MYOB ODBC driver is not present on the PC, you can install it manually without affecting the MYOB installation.  

1. Select Start > Programs > MYOB > MYOB Tools > Install MYOB ODBC.
2. Follow the prompts.

It is very important you uninstall previous versions of the ODBC driver. Though if you are not upgrading MYOB you will not need to i.e. if it's a fresh install, you will not have any prior version of MYOB ODBC on your PC. So check out the table that lists the version of MYOB and which ODBC it's compatible with.    Locate MYOB ODBC Version to find out more.

Please read specific instructions for Windows 7 operating systems.  Locate MYOB Windows 7 ODBC to learn more.

Synergy and MYOB will function on a 64 bit PC, though when it comes time to running MYOB Connect the ODBC cannot be launched therefore the sync will not take place.  Locate MYOB 64 bit PCs to learn more.

There is nothing extra to install for MYOB AccountRight Live. The API interface for AccountRight Live is installed during the install process for AccountRight Live (from 2014.4 onwards). Upgrades to the API are also installed as part of the upgrade process for each MYOB AccountRight Live version.

When installing MYOB AccountRight Live server edition (SE) this is listed as a separate 'program' in the installed programs list found in control panel for the 'MYOB API'. If the API needs to be reinstalled for the server edition, the API installer can be found in the Start menu at: Programs>MYOB>AccountRight 2014.4>Tools.
