Solutions for the QuickBooks Unrecoverable Error 19932 are:

If you are on a network, then check if a user file is damaged

QuickBooks users who access the application through a server computer that is connected to several workstations must check for damaged users. On the other hand, if you use QuickBooks on a single machine and do not have other workstations using the QuickBooks program installed on your computer then you can skip this step and proceed to the next one.

For those on a network facing this problem, try to log in to QuickBooks using different login credentials. Check if the problem occurs when you use any login ID and password or if it is limited to a specific user ID. If only one user gets the error and others are able to work on the file without problems, then that user file is damaged. Follow these steps to create new credentials to log in to the company file:

• Login using the Admin user credentials
• Click on ‘Company’ to open the company menu
• Then choose ‘Set Up Users and Passwords’
• Next, you must click on ‘Setup Users: Enterprise Users’
• Click on ‘Users’ and choose ‘Setup Users and Roles’
• Click on ‘Add User’. Enter new user credentials that can be used to replace the damaged user. Do not use the same username as the damaged username.
• Make necessary customizations and click on ‘Finish’
• Click on ‘File’ and open the file menu then click on ‘Close Company/Logoff’
• Login with the new credentials to check if the problem has been solved

If an admin user has been damaged, then follow these steps:

• Download QuickBooks Tool Hub
• Make sure it is downloaded to a location that you can easily find and access. The downloads folder or the desktop are the best places for saving your downloaded files.
• Click on the downloaded file to install the tool hub.
• Once the installation is complete, the icon of QuickBooks Tool Hub will be on your desktop. You have to double-click on it to open the tool hub.
• Click on the tab ‘Company File Issues’. Then run ‘QuickBooks File Doctor

1. Suppress Desktop while starting QuickBooks

Follow these steps to suppress the desktop while starting QuickBooks:

• Press and hold the Ctrl key and double click on the QuickBooks icon to open QuickBooks desktop
• Make sure you hold the Ctrl key till the time the QuickBooks program opens without a Company file.
• You will see a ‘No Company Open’ window, which gives you an option to open an existing company file.
• Choose the relevant company file from the ‘No Company Open’ window
• Press and hold the Alt key and click on ‘Open’
• If you are asked to enter your login credentials, then release the Alt key and proceed but if you are not asked for your login credentials then continue to hold the Alt key and click on ‘OK’
• Do not release the Alt key until the Company file is completely open. It will show you a blank screen, but you will see the QuickBooks menu on the screen. If you move your mouse to any of the menu titles, then it will be highlighted indicating that the company file is open. If the error does not show up, then your problem is resolved, and you should be able to return to working on your QuickBooks file without issues.

Open a sample company file

The reason for going through this step is to find out if the problem lies in the company file or in the QuickBooks program. If the sample file opens without errors, then your troubleshooting will be focused on the Company file and if the sample file returns the same error, then the whole QuickBooks program is damaged.

To open the sample file, follow the first three steps in the previous solution to reach the ‘No Company Window’. Then select ‘Open a Sample file’. You can choose any sample file to open on QuickBooks.

If the sample file opens then your company file is damaged, or it is placed in a damaged folder. To resolve this problem, we will first try to change the location of the company file. Follow these steps to copy the company file to a different location:

• On your desktop, right-click and select ‘New Folder’
• Name the new folder as ‘QBTEST’
• Open the folder where your company file is saved
• Right-click on the company file and choose ‘Copy’
• Go back to the desktop and open the QBTEST folder. Right-click and paste the company file inside the folder
• Open QuickBooks and go to the ‘NO Company Open’ window then choose the Company file from the QBTEST folder.

Check if your problem is resolved by changing the location of the company file. If the error persists then use a recent backup or Automatic Data Recovery to restore your company file. You can manually enter your data from the last backup and continue using QuickBooks as usual.

For users who find the same error even when they open the sample file, the problem lies in the QuickBooks desktop. Proceed to the next solution.
