My application requires my web server to be able to interact with multiple users' QuickBooks installations simultaneously or very nearly so.

I am aware of the one company file limitation in QuickBooks.

Is there a way around this problem? Can I handle multiple users from my server with QODBC Web Edition somehow?

Thanks,
Jason

You can setup QuickBooks Company File Servers using the iBiz Remote Connector and then connect to the QuickBooks Servers using the QODBC Remote Connector and a seperate DSN for each company file.

See: I do not want to install QuickBooks on every machine. How do I setup QODBC Remote? (but use it the other way round to connect to multiple company files).

Tom,

2 more questions based on your response (thanks by the way):

1. Will this arrangement work via PHP on a linux server?

2. Is there a way to make sure the data is encrypted over the internet since the QODBC RC SSL version is no longer available? I know we could try to set up VPNs, but our clients will be many and that would really not work for us. Ideally we would be able to send them a client that, once installed via a simple installer, would allow my PHP scripts to securely access their QB data as well as input transactions.

Thanks,
Jason

QODBC is Windows based, but other uses have connected their Linux Web Servers, see: Integrating QODBC w/ Apache / PHP webserver 

Encryption is best handled using https: (SSL) with a default port (443) and it's encryption/authentication layer between HTTP and TCP.
