I have a SQL Server/VB work order database that I would like to transfer invoices from to QuickBooks on a daily basis. I have setup my SQL statements and tested them in the included VB app. My dilemma is knowing the best way to setup the daily transfer of data. I have to separate QuickBooks files for different transactions. I would like to have this process on my server. I purchased QODBC server; should I create linked tables in SQL server or is there a better way to accomplish my needs. In addition, my server does not have any form of a development environment configured. Is there a way to use the QODBC on my dev computer to create the app, or must I install visual studio on my server?

MS SQL Server has it's own Studio where you can setup and schedule procedures to transfer data to QuickBooks using QODBC linked tables.

Since I have two QuickBooks files, is it possible to use linked tables? The Article on linked tables states QuickBooks must be open with the company file open. How can I do this with two company files?

You can't, you need to setup QuickBooks/QODBC/MS SQL Server on two seperate servers or simply use a application to open seperate DSNs (for each company file, one at a time) and import/export the required data to your MS SQL Server databases.
