Problem Description:
We keep getting the "QB Begin Session Failed" error when opening a QODBC connection on a web page. --> It happens when several users are using QuickBooks at the same time. --> When it happens, We try to use the 'QODBC Test Tool,' and it works fine. --> When no user or a few users are using QuickBooks, then this error is gone. --> When it happens, we have to reboot the QuickBooks service.
Solution:
Please ensure that your QuickBooks is in running mode and that you are logged in as Admin to the company file. If QuickBooks is in running mode & you are still facing the issue, please restart your server & try to connect.
