At the following page : http://www.qodbc.com/qodbcweb.htm

Its says the following:

The Remote Connector option allows the window that is running QuickBooks to be anywhere that is accessible via TCP/IP. That means QuickBooks can be run in a Terminal Sessions window, on another computer on your LAN or anywhere on the WEB. If your data will be transmitted over the internet we recommend you upgrading the Remote Connector to the SSL secure version. The instructions on setting up the Remote Connector version are here.

....

Ensure the following are installed and registered on your server:

  • A supported version of QuickBooks 2004 or 2003 (with company file set to Multi-user Mode)
  • QuickBooks must be running on the server console, not a terminal services session.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In regards to the bolded text. Is this saying that if you use DCOM settings that you can't use run QB from Terminal Services but if you use the remote connector method that you can run QB from Terminal Services.

You can use DCOM on a Server with Terminal Sessions, but then the Terminal Users will not be able to use QODBC. Basically on Terminal Services, QODBC connects only to the one copy of QuickBooks running on the server console (local session) only. That's why we recommend the use of the QODBC Remote Connector in these types of environments.

See: W2K3 Terminal Server / QB2006 Ent. + QODBC  for more.
