When syncing SME to QuickBooks, if you receive the message "Error Connecting to QuickBooks", you are logging into QuickBooks with a path that is different than that refereced by SQLink. This typically happens if you open QuickBooks on a client and try to sync when the initial sync was established on the server.

To run SQLink on client machines, you will need to do the following:

  1. From the client computer, browse to the sme5 executable folder and locate the SQLink Documentation folder.
  2. Run the QBFC7_0Installer.

Also, SQLink and QuickBooks must reference the same path to access the QuickBooks company file. to check this:

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Press F2 to open the Product Information window.
  3. Locate the File Information section and make note of the path in the Location field.
  4. Launch SQLink.
  5. Click File > Link Setup.
  6. Locate the Quick Books Company File field. The path in this field must be the same as the path noted in QuickBooks (step 3 above).
