IN TALLY ODBC MESANS OPEN DATA BASE CONNECTIVITY.

Tally uses ODBC to connect to other programs and exchange data dynamically.

OUTWARDS CONNECTIVITY

Pick up data from Tally directly into other programs like Microsoft Excel or Word without any programming! Print labels for greeting cards from the ledger addresses stored in Tally! Even create templates for the likes of Audit Reports and Schedule VI forms and plug in data from Tally. Tally's database is now open for use in most popular programs to give you the unlimited flexibility of creating your own reports using up-to-date data from Tally.

INWARD CONNECTIVITY

On the other hand, Tally ies 7.2 is capable of being programmed by TallyExperts to use data from other systems much more easily. This permits you to continue using other systems and use some of their data in Tally as if they were parts of one integrated system. For example, a customer contact management program may contain various details like status of an order and last contact made. Bring in that data into Tally to merge into a report containing outstanding balances. Any changes in the other data will be immediately reflected in Tally.

Tally ODBC is used to get the company data from Tally to MS-Word(Mail Merge) or to MS-Excel Sheet.

Here you may filter the required field as per your requirement for example:
if you want to print all customer name, address, phone number and email id, you may use Tally ODBC.

Please note, Tally ODBC is used only to get field wise data not Transactions.
