Reasons
You encounter this error when you try accessing/ hosting your data file or you try any 
data file-related task like creation, repair, or restoration. The following PC conditions 
cause this payroll error to foster in your accounting software-
• Your system data has met with corruption, and QB program files like Network 
Descriptor or the Transaction log file are also damaged.
• QuickBooks Database Server Manager stops running due to a sudden malfunction 
when you open the data file.
• QuickBooks cannot process the company file due to its unsupported format 
caused by data corruption or a virus attack.
Solutions 
This error won’t let you open the company file or use its financial data until you take 
the necessary actions to fix it. The techniques mentioned below will help you rectify 
the error in your system quickly-
Solution 1- Mend the corrupt .nd & .tlg files to register 
them again using QuickBooks DBSM
QuickBooks Database Server Manager is responsible for setting up the multi-user 
network and monitoring its data traffic. The transaction log file holds all your business 
transactions, and the network descriptor file holds the directories of all the systems 
authorized to connect to the multi-user network. If any of the two files fails to run in 
QuickBooks, the Database Server Manager crashes instantly, causing issues when 
opening the data file. You can use the following steps to prevent your DBSM from 
malfunctioning-
• Go to your QuickBooks folder in the C: drive and open it to view the contents.
• Right-click the .nd and .tlg files individually and tap Rename.
• Add ‘.old’ after the file name (extension) to both file names and save them.
• Launch QuickBooks DBSM and navigate to the Scan folder tab.
• Select your QuickBooks folder from the list or tap Browse.
• Hit Start Scan and retry opening the company file once the scan is complete.
If the company file fails to open due to the error, jump to the next solution.
Solution 2- Run the QBDT File Doctor tool to repair 
the company file
You can also run into this error code if the company file is damaged and completely 
inaccessible. The following steps will help you repair the company file using the File Doctor 
tool-
• Launch the QuickBooks tool hub and move to the Company file issues menu at the top.
• Hit Run QuickBooks File Doctor tool in the drop-down list and select your damaged data 
file.
