Troubleshooting - QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040438

Problem Description:

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



Can you advise what is error and the solution for it? 

Solution:

The above error says there are multiple instances of QuickBooks running. Please close all instances of QuickBooks (Please verify no instances are running of QBW32 under 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 QODBC Test Tool.

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