I have created reports in excel from the ODBC in quickbooks and would like other people in our office to be able to access and refresh them. 

Some have access to quickbooks and some do not, but quickbooks is on our network.  When they try to refresh the data an error comes up saying: 

[microsoft][odbc driver manager] data source name not found and no default driver specified

I (the creator of the odbc data in excel) am having no problems at all.  Can someone please tell me how to correct this problem??

thank you

QODBC will need to be installed on all the computers of the other people in your office that need to refresh the spreadsheets. QODBC can talk to either the copy of QuickBooks on their computer or if they don't have QuickBooks, QODBC can be setup to connect to a computer on the network that does.

See: I do not want to install QuickBooks on every machine. How do I setup QODBC Remote? for more.

Where do I need to go on the remote computer to download the odbc driver?  On mine I accessed utilities from quickbooks but the computers that do not have quickbooks??

Thank you so much for you help.
