You might also check to make sure your app, and QuickBooks are both running with the same user privileges.

You can also check that QuickBooks is not set stay running in the background (Edit > Preferences > General > Keep QuickBooks running for faster start-ups). If it's running, kill it, and then try to start QuickBooks again. You can also check Windows Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and look for the QBW32.exe process. Your first step should be to reboot, and try again. The other computer has nothing to do with this issue. QuickBooks is already running on this computer. Only QB Accountant, QuickBooks bookkeeper and QuickBooks enterprise can open more than one company file However, on this machine I'm getting 'QuickBooks can't start because it is already running. The chain is an executable to a helper dll to the QB dll to QB.ĭoes anyone have any ideas as to what the issue may be?

I also don't see a way to manually add the application. Only QB Accountant, QuickBooks bookkeeper and QuickBooks enterprise can open more than one company file' whenever I try that. Ordinarily when that happens, I run the program and I'm prompted to add the application, and I do. The QuickBooks administrator can grant permission for an automatic login through the Integrated Application preferences.' However, when I moved it to another machine, and I try to connect when QB IS NOT running, I get an error that 'This application is not allowed to log into this QuickBooks company data file automatically. I have an application that connects to QB running fine on one machine. So, thos answers haven't helped me in this case.) (Note, I believe this is different than the previous questions I've seen on this because those all appear to apply to earlier versions or are doing something different process-wise.

I cant open my quickbooks desktop app
