QuickBooks can't start because QuickBooks is already running.

QuickBooks can't start because QuickBooks is already running. Only QuickBooks Accountant can open more than one company file.

The web connector is looking for a different company file than the one that is open. This error can occur when you change the file location, but fail to update the path in Connex.
