Troubleshooting - QuickBooks Begin Session Failed. Unable to load component

Problem Description:

I am trying to connect to QuickBooks Online using QODBC Online. However, I am encountering the error below at the time of connection.



Could you please help me resolve this error?

Solution:

QODBC Online is using default port 8383. You will get the above error message when you have changed the port number in QODBC Online.

So, if you have changed the port number from the QODBC Online Setup Screen, then please close all the applications, wait for 5 to 10 minutes, and try to connect again.

If the above does not resolve the issue, then please ensure that no other application is using this port.

If any other application is not using the port specified on the QODBC Online Setup Screen, then you need to restart Windows & test again.

If any other application uses the port specified on the QODBC Online Setup Screen, you need to change the port from the QODBC Online Setup Screen.

You can change the port from:

Start >> All Programs >> QODBC Driver for use with QuickBooks Online >> Configure QODBC Online Data Source >> Go To "System DSN" Tab>> select QuickBooks Online Data >> click "configure" >> switch to General tab



Simply enter the port number you want to use in the "Port:" textbox and click "OK." In this example, I am changing it to default port 8383.



After changing the port, please close all applications, wait for 5 to 10 minutes, and then try to connect again. If it does not work, you need to restart Windows & test again.
