Hi Ben,

Hi Marco,

I kindly request you please keep QuickBooks running & test connection through VB Demo application.


If VB Demo can connect, you should be able to use QODBC with your application(s). You may ignore the Test Connection windows security message as Test Connection may fail if it is executed in a different user context then normal user and there is no need to test connection via QODBC Setup Screen once it has passed connect via VB Demo.

Please refer:
