[Microsoft ODBC][ Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

This error will occur if you do not have the correct ODBC driver installed suitable for your plugin type. For example, MYOB uses Visual Fox Pro, and as such MetriQ connects to MYOB's database using the ODBC connection bridge. If you get this error, first make sure that you have the plugin for the software you wish to export, installed. Next, make sure that Windows has registered the correct ODBC driver for this software.

To add an ODBC driver, go to the Control Panel and open Administrative Tools. Select Data Sources (ODBC). In the User DNS look for the driver suited to your Plugin (in the example above, it will be Visual Fox Pro Driver).

If you cannot find this driver in the list, press Add. From the list provided, select the driver that your require. Press Finish. For the Data Source Name type the name of the driver you are configuring. Press OK. Leave the Data Source Administrator by pressing Apply.
