| QODBC, Vista, Windows 2003, and Remote Access |

I am trying to setup QODBC in a remote configuration, following the instructions at http://www.qdeveloper.com.au/forum.php?homeinclude=topicdetails&forum_id=1&category_id=2&post_id=48.
I am running the trial version of QODBC, Vista and QB 2007 on my local workstation, and Windows 2003 and CF8 on the server.
I went through the Vista setup instructions for QODBC and I can get the test and the VB demo to run if I am using a standard user account (not part of the admin group), and QuickBooks is running.
Problem #1: If I shut down QuickBooks, even after selecting all of the options to allow QODBC to work even it QuickBooks is not running. Also, after setting all of this up, will I be able to work under my usual Admin account, or will I always have to use the standard user account when making this connection?
Then, I setup the remote connector on the workstation and setup QODBC on the Windows 2003 server. I added the IP address, username, and password to the configuration on the server and I setup the DSN in ColdFusion.
Problem #2: When I run the TestDCOM.cfm script on the server, all 4 lines come back as failed. Running the DisplaySQL.cfm script comes back with no records (no CF errors).
So, is there anything obvious I have missed or any pointers to getting this working?
Thanks |

"The QODBC/iBiz Remote Connector cannot be used on Microsoft Windows Vista."
So does this mean there is not a way with QODBC to setup a remote connection with another server when the workstation with QuickBooks installed is running Vista?

| Is this something that is being worked upon or is Vista going to be ignored as a supported OS? |

| The problem here is not QODBC, it's Intuit's requirement that the Intuit qbXML SDK must call QuickBooks in non-evelated (non-admin or system user) mode under Vista, meaning that items that run as a server can't communicate with QuickBooks. |
