Fishbowl Inventory not connecting to Quickbooks

Hi there, robertward5452.

The error you encountered may have been triggered by your application. A parsing error occurs when the application attempts to send information that QuickBooks cannot understand. This typically happens when a field contains more characters than QuickBooks allows.

To resolve this issue, I recommend reaching out to your Fishbowl provider and informing them of the error you received.

It's time for you to find a replacement and integrate it with QB Desktop.

I'm sure you already figured out how to fix this, since you posted in January.

Neither of the answers that were given were in the least appropriate or helpful.

For anyone experiencing this in the future, just do this:

Step 0: Login to the computer where your company file is hosted.

Step 1: Close Quickbooks and end task in Task Manager.

Step 2: End all related tasks to Quickbooks in Task Manager.

Step 3: Launch the Quickbooks Tool Hub and run a quick fix on your company file. Please make sure you have the latest version of the Tool Hub and that you are running this on the computer or server that your company file is located on.

Step 4: Relaunch your Quickbooks Desktop application with Administrator Privilege. Do this by right-clicking the desktop icon and pushing Run As Administrator.

Step 5: Re-run your export in Fishbowl.

This has worked 100% of the time for me when exporting.
