Reasons
This is a 6XXX series error, meaning QBDT failed to connect with the 
company file. The reasons abnormalities occur while opening a 
company file are mentioned below-
• Your system data is corrupt due to malware or corruption in the 
HDD, and the company file has turned into an unreadable format.
• QuickBooks Database Server Manager cannot run in the 
background due to damaged .TLG and .ND files.
• QuickBooks files are quarantined by the anti-virus, or the Windows 
Firewall restricts the application from connecting to other systems.
Solutions
You will face problems opening your company file and using its data for 
accounting tasks until you remove this error from your QuickBooks. The correct 
methods to deal with this data file issue on your QuickBooks are mentioned 
below-
Solution 1- Relaunch Database Server Manager after fixing the 
.TLG and .ND Files
All the transactions that occur in your QuickBooks are stored in the transaction 
log (.tlg) files, and the Network Descriptor (.nd) file has the details of the path to 
the company file and the systems allowed to access its data. If any of these files 
stop running due to damage, the Database Server Manager is directly affected 
and stops running in the background. This is the reason for the multi-user 
network breakdown, making the company file inaccessible. You can easily 
tackle the issue by renaming both the files and scanning them in the DBSM as 
shown in the following steps-
• Go to the QB folder in the C: drive using the file explorer.
• Open the QB folder and right-click.TLG and .ND files individually.
• Click the Rename option and add ‘.old’ as an extension to the file name.
• Save both the files and launch the DBSM on your computer.
• Mention the QB folder location in the Scan Folders tab and click Start 
Scan.
• Wait until the QB folder contents are scanned and relaunch your 
QuickBooks.
If the error code stops you from accessing the file, move to the next solution.
Solution 2- Use your QuickBooks tool hub to repair the 
damaged data file
You can also experience this QBDT error if the company files do not run in 
the software due to damage or corruption. QB Tool helps you repair the
