NetSuite ODBC Connection with MS Excel

edited Dec 4, 2019 2:08PM in General 11 comments

Hello,

I am trying to access NetSuite data from Excel via NetSuite ODBC connector and the login info which I'm providing is of an Administrator account.

But it shows the following error:

"You do not have permission to use ODBC. Please contact your account administrator for assistance."

Before this, I have set up

1. Enable ODBC features and web services in Netsuite
2. Set Admin as default role and add it into web preference in Netsuite
3. Install a proper ODBC driver (64-bits)
4. Confiture: -OpenAccess Service Host=ODBCSERVER.NA1.NETSUITE.COM
-Open Access Service Port=1708 -OpenAccess Service Data Source= NetSuite.com
5. Test connection is okay in Data Source but it still does not work in Excel.

Howdy, Stranger!
