Troubleshooting - QXL 80040409 Error

Problem Description:

I am trying export data from QXL. But when I click on QXL export button I got below error message.

The current version of QuickBooks cannot work with the specified company data file.

Error Occurred :[QODBC] QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040409, The current version of QuickBooks cannot work with the specified company data file.

Solution:

You may encounter above error when your QuickBooks company file is updated to higher version of QuickBooks & you are trying to use it in older QuickBooks version.

For Example:

If you are trying to open QuickBooks 2017 company file in QuickBooks 2016 or lower version, then you will get above error.

You can open QuickBooks company file in same or higher QuickBooks version. But, You can't open QuickBooks company file in lower QuickBooks version.
