ODBC Error "Cannot launch MYOB" when data file is on a network drive on Windows 10

My client has a new PC running Windows 10

An add on solution which makes use of the ODBC driver works if the data file is on C: However if the data file is on a network drive the ODBC access fails with error "Cannot launch MYOB"

The old Windows XP computer still works.

MYOBP.exe is located in C:\Premier19 and marked to run as administrator for all users.

I set compatibility to be Windows 7 and disabled UAC

Solution

  • I found I also needed to run the add on solution as Administrator. Also the data file location needed to be referred to using a UNC path rather than mapped drive.
