Connecting to QuickBooks Online via ODBC Driver

Windows DSN Configuration

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

1. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator in one of the following ways:
   • In the Windows search box, enter ODBC Data Sources, then choose the application that matches the bitness of the third-party application (32-bit or 64-bit).
   • In Control Panel, select System and Security > Windows Tools, then double-click ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) or ODBC Data Sources (64-bit). Note that before Windows 8, the icon was named Data Sources (ODBC).
   • 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 tab. Most applications work with both types, yet some applications require a specific type of DSN.
3. Click Add. The Create New Data Source dialog opens.
4. Select Devart ODBC Driver for QuickBooks Online, then click Finish. The driver configuration dialog opens.
5. Click Connect to QuickBooks.



6. In the Web Login dialog box, sign in with Google or enter your Quickbooks Online account credentials and click Sign In.



7. Enter the code that you received from Quickbooks Online and click Continue.



8. Click Connect to allow the driver to view and update your data.



9. The Company Id and Refresh Token will be filled in automatically.

   

10. Optional: Click Test Connection to verify the connection settings.
