Troubleshooting - QuickBooks Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040438

Problem Description:

I am testing the connection of QODBC & I am getting the QODBC test connection failed error:



Could you advise on the error and its solution? 

Solution:

The above error indicates that multiple instances of QuickBooks are running. Please close all instances of QuickBooks. Verify that no instances of QBW32 are running in the Task Manager (Processes> View all user processes).

Please run only one instance of QuickBooks as a context user, log in to the company file as Admin & try to connect using the QODBC Test Tool.

Please refer to Connecting QODBC Driver to QuickBooks for the First Time (Video)
