file in multi-user mode and other systems/workstations use its data in single-user

mode, QBCFMonitorService might fail to run, leading to issues when your work on 
financial data. An easy way to fix the issue is by setting up the QBDT hosting settings 
correctly, as discussed in the following steps-
• Run QuickBooks on your server computer and access the File menu.
• Go to Utilities and click Host multi-user access.
• Now, approach all the remaining systems (workstations) individually and open their 
QBDT File menu.
• Select Utilities and click Stop hosting multi-user Access.
• Restart all the systems and open your server computer.
• Open the company file in multi-user mode to make it accessible to all the other 
systems.
If the error message reappears when accessing your data file, move to the next 
solution.
