Is there a function available to test the connection to Quickbooks?  I am connecting remotely and am having trouble with our server shutting down because it tries to connect to Quickbooks and cannot establish a connection (for whatever reason - mostly that the PC that has Quickbooks installed on it is not powered on).  Is there a way to test the connection before trying to select or insert rows?

Any call to QODBC will fail if QuickBooks can't run for whatever reason. If you're looking for a test statement to run, you can use:

SELECT * from HOST

as it returns only a single rowset with the version of QuickBooks and QODBC you are running.
