Hi, I use Quickbooks desktop and Fishbowl Inventory. They are both normally connected and Fishbowl exports data to Quickbooks. Recently Fishbowl has stopped connecting to Quickbooks for some reason. I tried to resync the two but it cannot establish a connection to Quickbooks. Below is the error code, does any have any ideas?

 

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files\Mid-America Chemical, Inc..qbw XML could not be parsed. XML Expected start tag, found end of document (line 1, col 0)

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.
