I'm working on setting up my scripts to handle multiple files.  I would like the script to check and see if a user already has the file open in the QuickBooks app on the computer.  Would the Function PCQB_GetFileName work for this?  If it returns a file name then the Application is open and if not then I can proceed with my scripts?

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

PCQB_GetCurrentFileName should work, as long as each QB Company file has a unique path/name. I don't know of a better way to determine which file is open. I've always insisted clients have a unique Company Name value in QB. My process confirm that value, too, matches before using the API for data transfer in either direction.

HTH!
