Troubleshooting - How to Re-Link QuickBooks Data in MS Access using QODBC
Problem Description 1:
We are adding invoice records to QuickBooks using an Access front end. When we create the records and try to insert into QB the line items seem to go but when the invoice header is inserted we get an error that the Child Record must be inserted before Header Record in BuildXMLHeader. I have examined the data being passed and it all looks correct.
Problem Description 2:
I upgraded my QB Premier Plus Professional Services to 2016 (from 2014). I skipped updating to 2015.
I installed the new QODBC connector, but cannot connect to my access database. I have tried to uninstall the MS Access Database driver, But I get the error message ODBC call failed- Error 10004.
Problem Description 3:
I have MS Access database which contains QuickBooks Data as linked table. Recently I have changed my Optimizer file path & after changing Optimizer path I am facing slow performance issue.
How can I solve this issue?
