I get an error message "QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040408, Could not start QuickBooks." whenever I try to connect and QB is not running.

Is there a connection string parameter that tells it to connect?

Thanks,

Joe

In the System DSN you are using you must specify the path of your company file as per: How do I setup QODBC to auto-login into QuickBooks and start it if it's not running?

All the connection parameters can also be found at: How do I build a connection string with all the available QODBC parameters?
