QuickBooks/QODBC & Linked Server ?
Using QB Pro 2010 on XP. SQL Server 2005 Express and SSMS 2008.
Installed QOBC, and it seems to work using the VB Demo. But when I tried creating a Linked Server, I followed the instructions to create a linked server, but it fails. I get this error:
The linked server has been updated but failed a connection test. Do you want to edit the linked server properties?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Conne

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "QODBC".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "QODBC" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".

What version of the qODBC driver are you using? (Trial/read only/server edition?)
Is QB installed on the XP machine? The qODBC installed there too?
Where is the data file?
What program are you trying to connect with?

QODBC Driver is latest, and it is a trial. D/L it a few days ago.
QB is installed on XP as well as the QODBC, as well as the data file.
the VB Demo connects, and Test Connection from the ODBC configuration dialog works.
The problem is from the SQL Server (SQL Server 2008 Express) it won't connect.
I am not using any type of Internet / ASP / IIS - just trying to get my SQL Server to talk to QB.

Looks like there could be any number of things, the easiest bing a post I read that said QB needed to be installed on the server as well.
