Quickbooks Online Connection Problems

Title: Failed to Connect to Quickbooks
Content:

So you're trying to login to your Quickbooks Onine, using TimeTracker to sync your client, product, and services lists, as well as upload your TimeTracker file. And what happens?? You get greeted with some message about not being able to connect.. .-214blahblahblah Failed to Connect yada yada yada.
 
If you turn on verbose logging (don't bother with this yet)… then you will find something in the log that says:
<SignonDesktopRs statusCode="2020" statusSeverity="ERROR" statusMessage="Session Authentication required">
 I searched for it on the Internet and found the following information from other ISV:
This error message means that you have login security turned on in QuickBooks Online Edition. Login Security prohibits automated access to QuickBooksOnline Edition programatically. If you want to be able to access QuickBooks Online Edition programatically, you have to turn this off.
To do this, you can:
  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online Edition account
  2. Go to 'My Account'
  3. Click on 'Connection List'
  4. Choose the appropriate connection and click the 'Edit' button
  5. For programmatic access to QuickBooks Online Edition, this option must be chosen: "Login Security: No. Anyone who can run {your application name here} can use the connection."
  6. If it is not selected, select it.

  7. If it is un-selectable, you must create a new connection to your application, making sure to turn off login security when creating the connection.


    • When I tried this, I still couldn't connect. So Gary at RFCons kept looking for a solution…and this is what he found.
    • Remove the registry value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Intuit\QBOEQBXMLRP\<your application name>\ConnTkt
    • If you don't know how to do this, I'm not sure you should be trying it. You can always 'contact me' and I can connect to your machine and do it for you. For less than $50 you can be back up and running!

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?

Project: Php/MySQL Connection strings on GoDaddy Servers Description : A short list of where the connection strings are on GoDaddy servers at the time of this writing. (January 2011) Project Goals : To keep a list that I can get to from anywhere, without needing my laptop, notebook, or phone. All I need to perform any of these tasks is a machine and an internet connection. This list was actually created by GoDaddy technicians… not me, so it should be accurate. What are the connection strings for my application's database? What are the connection strings for my application's database? The following list contains connection strings for many popular program databases. If your program is not listed, contact the program's manufacturer.
