Hello,

How to connect to QuickBooks? The screenshot of the error message is given below: 
 
 
Unable to connect to QuickBooks.
Could not connect to QuickBooks.
An error occurred while attempting to find QuickBooks.
QuickBooks may not be installed properly on this machine.
Try restarting your machine. If that does not work, repairing
QuickBooks
from the Windows Add/Remove Programs Control Panel may resolve
this issue.
If you are using Excel 2010 64bit, this feature is not supported and will
not work. Consider using the 32bit version of Excel 2010.

Hello Badeth,

The following are the possible reasons why you are getting that error message:

  • You may be using an incompatible version of Microsoft Office.
  • Your QuickBooks installation file may be corrupted.

To resolve it, you will need to make sure that Microsoft Office is compatible with the version of QuickBooks that is open- make sure that only one version is open when using Office tie-in features.

Regards,

Nicke

It is possible that you either use an incompatible version of Microsoft Office (64 bit) or the installation file for QuickBooks is corrupted. Try to use the 32-bit version of MS Office and try to install QuickBooks again.

Greetings,

You actually have two different problems.

One is, if you are using Excel 2010 64-bit product the QuickBooks product does not support in the 64-bit program. So if you still want to use QuickBooks you have to find out the supported version for 64-bit.

Your other problem is your ActiveX component can’t create an object which you can solve with the following instructions:

1. Click to Start button, then go to Run.

2. To find DAO file, Type regsvr32.

3. Use the quotation mark to enclose the DAO file’s path. Such as: regsvr32 "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAODAO360.DLL"

Good luck.
