QODBC is a data driver for QuickBooks data.
You know how a printer driver plugs in a new printer so all of your applications can print to it the same way and they all understand it? A driver is like a translator.
A data driver plugs database files in to the applications you use every day, next to other database formats like dBase, SQL Server, Microsoft Access and others. When a driver is in place for QuickBooks data, you can use it like any other database directly supported by your applications.
Many programs such as Microsoft Excel, Word, Access, Crystal Reports and others directly support databases via the wizards and built-in menus.
For example, once QODBC is installed, in Microsoft Excel you can use the menu: Data/Get External Data/New Database Query, then you chose the source you want to get data from, in this case QuickBooks Data.
