QODBC Version 15.0.0.308 released!

Sunday, May 17th, 2015

QODBC Version 15.00.00.308 Now available for download.

PLEASE NOTE: for QODBC for QuickBooks and QODBC POS this is a major release.

The optimizer database (local encrypted backup of the entire QuickBooks database) has a brand new engine with better performance and reliability. All issues with forced rebuilding and corruption of the optimizer feature are addressed in this version.

This is a major change which requires the customer to completely rebuild the optimizer database from scratch after installation, so be aware of this when choosing the time to install this version.

The installer will remove the old OPT optimizer file during installation.

QODBC for Online does not have this optimizer change yet.

QuickBooks Online Reports with QODBC

Saturday, March 21st, 2015

Written by Charlie Russell

QuickBooks Online Reports with QODBCOne of the shortcomings that you hear when people discussQuickBooks Online, and perhaps any of the online accounting products,  is the lack of flexible tools for creating custom reports. There are several special purpose tools available that can create excellent reports for the topics that they cover, but what if you want a report that covers information that these tools don’t provide? In this article I’ll take a look at a product that lets you get to a wide range of QuickBooks Online data, QODBC.

If you want to get down and dirty with the QuickBooks Online database and use some Windows desktop reporting tools that you may be familiar with, QODBC provides a driver that can do the job.

QODBC Online for QuickBooks In Development

Friday, May 16th, 2014
QODBC Online for QuickBooks In Development
We had previously reported that Intuit is removing support for the QuickBooks SDK from QuickBooks Online edition.
This means that the standard edition of QODBC will stop functioning with QuickBooks Online, because when the customer upgrades to the new “QuickBooks Harmony” edition, the SDK which powers external tools such as QODBC will no longer function, and there is no reverting back to the older version if you switch.
However, we have recently found a way to create a communication between an ODBC Driver and the new QuickBooks Online Harmony version by using an SDK to IPP conversion program paired with a secure web application for handling of the data transfer.
This development is expected to take about a month, and at the end of that time we will introduce a new product called QODBC Online for QuickBooks.
This product will be offered at a monthly rate for every customer account, to match up with the monthly billing used by QuickBooks Online.
It will work only with QuickBooks Online and will not function with any desktop versions of QuickBooks.
Every program that you have written for QODBC will function the same with the QODBC Online version as it did talking to QuickBooks Online in the previous edition, so no reprogramming is required, except maybe the connection string.
Keep in mind that the number of tables available in the QuickBooks Online edition remains a smaller number than QuickBooks Desktop offers, there have been no changes in that area even though the technology is changing.
If you or any of your users are using QuickBooks Online with QODBC, you will want to delay the conversion to the “Harmony” edition of QuickBooks Online until you are ready and tested.
QODBC Online for QuickBooks will be available soon as an open beta version for testing by all developers, and we hope to complete our work and release the final version around June 15 2014.
It’s important to remember that if you convert QuickBooks Online to the “Harmony” version, you will not be able to switch back to the previous version and will be without QODBC access until our new version is finished testing.

thanks for your support of QODBC!

QODBC for QuickBooks Online Sunsetting

Monday, February 24th, 2014

Intuit is removing support for the QuickBooks SDK from QuickBooks Online edition.

This impacts current QODBC customers who use our product with QuickBooks Online, because when the customer upgrades to the new “QuickBooks Harmony” edition, the SDK which powers external tools such as QODBC will no longer function, and there is no reverting back to the older version if you switch.

If you use QuickBooks Online with QODBC, you may want to delay this transition until you are prepared.

There is no comparable system to the QuickBooks SDK in the “Harmony” edition of QuickBooks Online, so it is unlikely QODBC will be able to talk to the new QuickBooks Online version ever.

If you have any issues with QuickBooks Online related to your use of QODBC and need some advice, please call your local dealer.
