ODBC Driver Configuration for FreshBooks Classic

Windows DSN Configuration

After installing the driver, create a DSN for FreshBooks in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

1. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
   • Type ODBC Data Sources in the Windows 10 search box and choose the ODBC Data Sources application that matches the bitness of your application (32-bit or 64-bit). You can also open ODBC Data Sources from Control Panel > Administrative Tools. Note that before Windows 8, the icon was named Data Sources (ODBC).
   • Alternatively, you can run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to create a 32-bit DSN or C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe to create a 64-bit DSN.
2. Select the User DSN or System DSN. Most applications work with any of them, yet some applications require a specific type of DSN.
3. Click Add. The Create New Data Source dialog appears.
4. Select Devart ODBC Driver for FreshBooks and click Finish. The driver setup dialog opens.
5. Enter the connection information in the appropriate fields. See Obtaining Authentication Token to learn how to obtain an authentication token for FreshBooks Classic.
6. You may test the connectivity by clicking Test Connection.
7. Click OK to save the DSN.
