[Quickfix-users] Error: No session defined for initiator

[Tom T. <to...@tr...>]

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with QuickFix and am attempting to
connect to my FIX provider. I am getting the following error and have
spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is wrong. Maybe it is just
a small mistake and somebody out there knows what I'm doing wrong. 

The error is "No session defined for initiator" and it occurs on the
line of code which attempts to create a new SocketInitiator

I am using the following session settings:

[DEFAULT]
ConnectionType=initiator
ReconnectInterval=60
SenderCompID=ABCD
SenderSubID=111
[SESSION]
SessionQualifier=Session1
BeginString=FIX.4.4
TargetCompID=ABCD
TargetSubID=111
StartTime=08:00:00
EndTime=16:35:00
HeartBtInt=20
SocketConnectPort=123
SocketConnectHost=11.22.333.44
DataDictionary=C:\Programme\quickFIX\trader\FIX44.xml

and the following code (visual basic)...

Imports QuickFix
Module Trader
    Sub Main()
        'Initiate Session
        Try
            Dim sessionSettings1 As New
SessionSettings("C:\Programme\quickFIX\trader\Settings.txt")
            Dim application As New Application()
            Dim factory As New FileStoreFactory(sessionSettings1)
            Dim logFactory As New ScreenLogFactory(True, True, True)
            Dim messageFactory As New DefaultMessageFactory()
            Dim initiator As New SocketInitiator _
                (application, factory, sessionSettings1, logFactory,
messageFactory)
            initiator.start()
            Console.WriteLine("press <enter> to quit")
            Console.Read()
            initiator.stop()
        Catch e As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(e)
            Console.Read()
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

Thanks in advance for any help!
