QODBC Remotely

QuickBooks is a very chatty client server database and remote access to it is generally not a good idea. It is really easy to damage the database with remote access. Can you install QODBC locally to QuickBooks and access the results locally?

To John Hurst,

Yes, I could. But to what end?

My objective is to synchronize specific QB tables with corresponding tables on a web server. The web server database is MySQL. Do you know if I can create a MySQL database on the QB server, use QODBC to get data out (or put data in) QB & then figure out a way to synch that with the web server database? I have MySQL ODBC on the Quick Books server now because I was trying another "canned" solution that doesn't seem to work.

Please stay tuned, I don;t see an easy solution.

Have you ever hear of OpenSynch?

I'm trying it but it appears not to work or the docs are poor or they are assuming a level of knowledge that I don;t have.

I have only heard of Open Sync, but I have never used it.

To John Hurst,

It now seems to be working in an odd sense..

Support & pre-sales seems pretty spotty, that scares me.

I will try to talk to them again (for the 4th or 5th time) tomorrow; they are EDT.

Thanks

Hi,
For now, QODBC cannot be installed on Linux machine.

We are currently testing a linux client for QRemote which will connect to QuickBooks Data on the Windows machine. Please do let us know if you would like to have a beta test.  ( Raise a support ticket at http://support.flexquarters.com/esupport/index.php?/Tickets/Submit )

For now you can use a windows box at the remote site.

I would request you to refer
