Solution #2: Rename the .ND and .TLG Files

The .ND and .TLG files are part of the QuickBooks files. These are configuration files that allow QuickBooks to access a company file in a network or QuickBooks multi-user mode. If these files are damaged or corrupted in any way, these errors will prevent you from opening QuickBooks files. Renaming these files will not cause any hassle or lose any QuickBooks data. These files are automatically re-created when you re-scan them using the QuickBooks Database Server Manager and then when you open the files again.

1. Open the folder that contains the company file
2. Find the files with the same name as your company files but along with the extensions .ND .TLG.

• Company_file.qbw.nd
• Company_file.qbw.tlg

      3: Right-click on each of the files and RENAME them both. Insert old at the end of both the file names.
