Reasons
This error code flashes on the screen mostly while opening a company file or creating a backup of 
the financial data. We have mentioned the reasons for the occurrence of this data file issue below-
• The company file is opened in single-user mode, or your workstations are running in multi-user 
mode.
• The company file has incurred damage by a virus attack, and its format has become unsupported 
for QuickBooks Desktop.
• QuickBooks cannot set up a path to the company file due to insufficient folder permissions or 
Windows Firewall restrictions.
Solutions
You will repeatedly bump into this error code whenever you try opening the company file or 
execute any related task. The following methods will help you eliminate the issue and allow you to 
access the financial data without problems-
Solution 1- Run workstations in single-user mode and ensure the file is opened in 
multi-user mode
This error mostly troubles you if the company file is opened in single-user mode or the software faces 
trouble setting up the multi-user network because of the workstations using the multi-user mode. You’ll 
have to fix the issue by hosting the file on a server computer running in multi-user mode and stopping 
all the workstations from using the multi-user mode. Refer to the steps mentioned below-
• Sign out of your company file from all the computers.
• Go to all the workstations individually and access their QBDT File menu.
• Click Utilities and select Stop hosting multi-user access.
• Go to the QBDT File menu on your server computer now and click Utilities.
• Tap Host multi-user access and open the company file to make it accessible to all the workstations.
If the error code appears again when you try opening the data file, move to the next solution.
Solution 2- Run the QBDT File Doctor Tool to mend the data file
You can also run into this error code if the company file gets damaged and becomes unusable for 
the software. This damaged file can be repaired using the File Doctor tool in the QB tool hub, as 
shown in the following steps-
• Launch the QuickBooks Tool hub on your system and navigate to the Company file issues menu.
