Quickbooks Not Allowing Me To Grant Access to My Application
My Computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
AMD Athalon 64 3500 +2.20 gHz - 3 GIG of Ram
MS Visual Studio 2005 - Professional Edition
using: VB.Net
Quickbooks:
Quickbooks Pro 2005
Multi-user mode
I have written an application in VB.net to manage our projects. This application has been able to connect to OTHER quickbooks company files, however in this case - the file is not allowing me to grant access to that application or not.
FROM QUICKBOOKS HELP:
" The first time an application tries to access a company file, you will see an authorization window. You can then decide whether to authorize the application to:.. etc.."
WIth the other company file, this "Authorization window" popped right up. In this file, no window pops up, and I am NOT able to grant access. The application doesnt appear in the list of authorized applications in the Edit->Preferences menu. (obviously..)
SETTINGS:
Checkbox "Dont allow any applications to access the company file"
- This is UNCHECKED (Allowing access)
I am in Multi-User Mode
I have a user setup in quickbooks already - this user has access to EVERYTHING.. just like an admin. My application logs in as that user.
I NEED to have quickbooks grant access to this application. There is NO reason for this to be happening. I KNOW it works, since it worked fine on the other company file. Is there anything I can try? Maybe force it to acknowledge my app?
Thank you!

Hello Surajguptha,
Both company files are active and working quickbooks company files.. THey are opened and used every day in our office. Both files work, and dont appear to be corrupt in any way. The one that WORKED, is newer however.. I'm not sure if the older one was created in a previous version or not... how do I check that?
Yes - Both company files (the working, and the not working) are on a network share.

can you try openning the older file and save it as a new file?? or probably create a new file and paste the contents of the files that doesnt seem to accept authorization?

The file that doesnt display the authorization window may be a incorrect file. Can you try openning this file and see if is not corrupted or written using some older version of quickbooks?
Is this file on a network share?
