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:

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.

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:

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.
