| IIS/PHP QODBC v8 and Quickbooks 2007/08 - QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040416 |

Running QODBC v8 with Quickbooks 2007/08, with a web-based application (IIS/PHP) on a webserver using QODBC, via Remote Connector to a second machine with Quickbooks installed. QODBC v8 is installed, and licensed (Desktop Read/Write) on both machines.
Identical set-up used to work with v6 and Quickbooks 2004, and I could have sworn I'd got it working in the new set-up a few weeks ago, but re-testing it today, I got into some trouble.
Initially it wouldn't work at all, then I checked the version on the webserver, and from the "About", it told me it was still v6. Re-Installing v8 in the same directory had no effect, then i determined that, for some reason, it wasn't over-writing the files in C:/Windows/system32 - I had to delete them and re-install v8 to get the latest binaries installed in that directory.
I checked it using VBDemo and it works fine - can connect OK, and query the database without any trouble.
BUT... when trying to access it via IIS/PHP, as before, i get the following error:
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [QODBC] QB Begin Session Failed. Error = 80040416, If QuickBooks is not running, a call to the "BeginSession" method must include the name of the QuickBooks company data file. , SQL state S0000 in SQLConnect in ...\DisplaySQL.php on line 19
I have checked Quickbooks preferences (Integrated Applications) and all the permissions are set there, and I have given the web-usr IUSR_.. read/execute permissions on the binaries in Windows/system32, but that hasn't made any difference. I tried searching the forums, but it seems this error doesn't come up too often. |

| Hi Tom, thanks for your comment, but it seems that the problem must have been caused by a Windows Security update on the server - by uninstalling QODBC, rebooting, then re-installing, the problem went away |
