I had a brush with this some time back. The information I was given (even from MYOB) was sketchy and conflicting. As far as I know, there are 2 avenues:
1. Use the batch import / export as described in "MYOB
Importexport.pdf". It should be on the customer's PC. I believe
this is read / write and validates the data on import of cards etc.
2. Pay for MYOB's 'driver' as you've described. I couldn't find out
much about it, except that it was expensive. I was told that this
was read only! I couldn't believe that, but MYOB personnel were
less than helpful.Not sure if this helps, but maybe the free import-export process may get you by.
Cheers, Craig.

Hi!
Has any one had any success with getting MYOB to update cards?
The only thing MYOB have told me is that there is some sort of import procedure, I have not tried anything yet, but wanted to know if any one knows whether that import procedure will update an existing client "card".
I had hoped for a COM object, but it seems you have to register for a $AUD 850.00 d2d programme to even find out about such things and then pay some bi-monthly or quarterly fee to use a forum to get answers.
Found a booklet (NEXT series) at Borders and other magazine shops ($14.00) that gave me more information than MYOB telephone services, or an email (which I waited nearly a month for a reply!) gave me. In fact MYOB NZ tele services denied there was even a COM object, but the NEXT booklet describes it!
I have only one person wanting help for MYOB at present (connecting an existing database- addresses so that they don't have to double enter client information) I don't at this point even want to read account files, just update customer addresses etc ..
Can't justify $850AUD etc .. just to do that, seems off the wall somehow ..
TIA
