title: WinForms Application won't connect after QB 2014 upgrade
body: <p>I support a legacy WinForms C# application that connects to 2 QuickBooks files.  It has worked very well for years, both with QuickBooks 2008 and QuickBooks 2011.</p>
  
  <p>A few days ago, the client upgraded to QuickBooks 2014.  The application has not sucessfully connected to the QuickBooks files since.  When I run the application manually it throws a .NET error saying System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040408): Could not start Quickbooks.</p>
  
  <p>I decided to test to make sure that the SDK I am using, version 8.0, could in fact connect to QB 2014.  So, I ran the SDKTestPlus3 application.  When I tried to connect to the company file, it tells me that the application is not authorized to connect to that company file.  So, I opened the company file in QB and went into Single User mode, and tried again - expecting to get the pop-up asking me to grant that application the right to connect.  Instead, when I tried to connect with the file open in QB in Single User mode, SDKTestPlus3 gave an error saying "A QuickBooks company data file is already open and it is different from the one requested or there are multiple company files open."</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me in the right direction here.  Is the QBFC8 compatible with QB 2014, and if so is there something I need to do to get this application that has been working with QB 2011 for so long to continue working with QB 2014?</p>
  
  <p>TIA!</p>
  
  <p>Additional Information </p>
  
  <p>I have now noticed that the errors in connecting to QhickBooks seem to be intermittent. The WinForms application gets run by a windows scheduled task every morning at 1:00 AM.  Since the upgrade to 2014 on Monday, it has failed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.  In looking at today's log files - this morning it <em>successfully</em> connected and processed records in QB.  Now, when I try to run it manually, instead of the (0x80040408): Could not start Quickbooks COM error I instead got COM error (0x8004041C): An internal QuickBooks error occured while trying to access the QuickBooks company data file.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else experienced these types of problems or have any idea what may be causing them? I need this application to work consistantly as it has in the past!!</p>
