I have been running the IBiz Integrator for QuickBooks to access my QB data through Internet Explorer or Firefox from remote computers through Apache/PHP.  It has proven to be very unstable.  It works fine for a couple of days and then quits working until I restart my Apache/Php server.  I've been informed that I needed to switch from using the IBiz Integrator to using the DCOM servers.

I am trying to get the DCOM server to work.  I have been able to get the permissions set up and I have run the test file (TestDCOM.php).  It has run successfully with the following result. 

QODBC PHP DCOM Access Test Page
QB2002QB2003QB2004DCOMCOMObject NameStatus
    QBXMLRPEQODBCInteractive.exe Success
    QBXMLRP.dll Success
      QBXMLRP2EQODBCInteractive.exe Success
      QBXMLRP2.dll Success
  XERCES-COM.dll Success
Current Logged on User is: ?????
Authenticated user is: ?????
PHP Current Logged on User is: ?????

As you can see, the test file says that the DCOM elements are working.

I am now trying to use my PHP code to access my QB data in the same way that I did with the IBiz Integrator, but using DCOM.  So far, the PHP scripts are not working.

This is the error I get: "[QODBC] QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040408, Could not start QuickBooks."

Using IBiz Integrator, I could get a connection to my data, but it was unstable.  Now, switching over to DCOM, I can't get anything to work.

I would also add that I am new to using something like DCOM.  I'm simply following the instructions that I've been given. ( How do I manually setup the QODBC DCOM Servers on Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server?, How can I see QuickBooks data in a Internet Explorer Browser using Windows XP?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

When using the QODBC DCOMs, QuickBooks must be closed and the connection must specify the company file for unattended mode operation as per: How do I setup QODBC to auto-login into QuickBooks and start it if it's not running?
