This application is not allowed to log into this QuickBooks company data file automatically

Question

I want to create native QuickBooks connector. While connecting with QuickBooks Company file I am getting following error.

"This application is not allowed to log into this QuickBooks company data file automatically. The QuickBooks administrator can grant permission for an automatic login through the Integrated Application preferences."

This is my Code:

QBSessionManagerClass sMgr = new QBSessionManagerClass();

try
{
    sMgr.BeginSession(fileName, ENOpenMode.omMultiUser);
}
catch
{
    sMgr.CloseConnection();
    throw;
}

I am using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Solutions 17.0 and QBXML SDK 13.0 Installer.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue may be? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First hit Ctrl+1 to bring up the following QuickBooks Product Information screen

Second, get EVERYBODY logged out of QuickBooks. Third, copy the file path (NOT including the name of the QB file) into Windows Explorer to locate the permissions/users .lgb file: Rename it or delete it.

Open up QuickBooks in SINGLE USER mode, logged in as ADMIN.

Go to Edit>Preferences:

Go to Integrated Applications, and the Company Preferences Tab. Highlight the 'CLEARIFY-QQube Tool' and click the Remove button.

Next,Answer Yes to confirm.

Click OK to exit the window.

Return QuickBooks to Multi-user Mode and logged in as Admin. Open up the QQube Configuration Tool. Then highlight the company and click on the Remove button.

A dialog box will appear telling you to have QB open, and be logged in as Admin, etc. etc.

Click OK to continue.

QuickBooks pops up with permissions:

Confirm to proceed:

If you have QuickBooks Enterprise 11, this dialogue box will pop up giving you further instructions to add a Custom Reporting User calleed "QQube". Be SURE to enter the SAME password as used when you setup the user in QuickBooks.

The company will show up in the Company File List: (Click the Save Button - if you forget to, it will auto prompt you to do so anyway)
