Reasons
You mostly run into this error code while switching QBDT to multi-user mode to share a 
company file. The following conditions make your company file completely inaccessible after 
developing this error-
• QuickBooks hosting settings aren’t correctly set, leading to a failure in using the multi-user 
mode or hosting a company file on the network.
• QBDT is failing to access the company file in its folder due to restricted folder permissions.
• Your system is disconnected from the external storage drive in which your company file 
exists.
Solutions
The software freezes after displaying this error code when it fails to set up a contact with the 
company file. Some effective methods you can use to deal with the company file issue are 
given below in detail-
 
Solution 1- Assign Admin rights to all the QuickBooks 
programs
QuickBooks fails to connect with the company file if it doesn’t has sufficient folder 
permissions or isn’t allotted the required system resources to run. QB processes can also get 
blocked by the Windows Firewall or any other security software leading to a malfunction in 
the software. QBDT creates a new Windows account whenever you install it on your 
computer, and the account must have admin rights to run on a network. Use the following 
steps to run QBDT programs with admin access to prevent issues while opening a company 
file-
• Close QBDT and go to the Windows Start menu.
• Click the Gear (Settings) icon to open the control panel and go to the User Accounts 
option.
• Search for QBDataServiceUserXX depending on your QuickBooks version.
• Click Change account type and select Administrator.
• Tap Change account type and click Apply.
• Go to all the versions of DBSM you use and follow the above steps.
• Retry switching your QBDT to multi-user mode afterward.
Try the next solution if the error stops you from using the multi-user mode.
Solution 2- Transfer your data file to a local drive
This error code can also come up in your QB if the company file you are trying to open 
exists on an external drive currently unavailable. You must move your company file to 
a local drive to ensure the software doesn’t face any issues while accessing it-
• Open your external drive contents using a file explorer.
• Right-click the company file and select Copy.
• Paste the company file on your system and open the QuickBooks File menu.
• Select Open or Restore company and click Browse to select the company file you 
just moved to your system.
• Once the file opens, try switching to multi-user mode.
