This message, "A Quickbooks company data file is already open and it is different from the one requested.", has the following explanation:
The QODBC Driver uses the QuickBooks SDK, which is limited to the features of the standard QuickBooks desktop product, which cannot open multiple company files. You must only open one company file at a time on a single machine.
However, I have Quickbooks open to the file I am trying to connect to, and I am instructing the connection to that file. There is only the one file. Why am I getting this message?
Thank you.

If QODBC is setup to "Use the company files that's now open in QuickBooks":
then it works as expected. But if you "Locate a company file",
then QuickBooks must not already have a company file open ........ even if it's the same company file!!! |

Thank you. I now understand. I thought you had to first have the target Quickbooks file open, but it's probably more that you should have Quickbooks open, but not the target file, if you intend to use the option to locate the file. Or, as you explain, use the option to use the currently open file.
