How do you tap into MYOB from a .NET app?

Question

I'm interested in finding out how to interface a .NET app (or even just about any app running on any platform, maybe even Java or PHP) with MYOB. There's a system already in place that uses MYOB but the business owner wants their different branch offices to be able to interact with each other. I would be really interested to know the possible approaches to this problem from those of you who are familiar with this. Many thanks :)

Answer 1

There is an ODBC driver available here. There maybe some limitations to it, however. Both MYOB & QuickBooks make it difficult to extract all the data -- they attempt to lock you in.
