Reasons
All the 6XXX series errors, including this, indicate that the software cannot establish a 
secure connection with the data file. The reasons this error affects your QBDT are given 
below in detail-
• Company file’s format has turned unreadable for QBDT after the file took damage from 
a virus attack or data corruption.
• Database Server Manager malfunctions when it fails to run the .nd file.
• The company file is moved to a new location, and the software still tries to fetch the file 
in its old location
Solution 1- Scan the company file folder in DBSM after 
fixing the Network Descriptor file
QBDT multi-user network depends a lot on the Database Server Manager as it helps connect 
multiple systems and ensure smooth data flow. The Database Server Manager runs in the 
background whenever the multi-user network is set up but can malfunction if the network 
descriptor file gets damaged. The file holds information about all the systems eligible to 
access the file from the network. You’ll have to rename the file to recreate it when you open 
QBDT again. Use these steps-
• Go to your QB folder on your file explorer (Windows+E).
• Right-click the Network Descriptor (.nd) file inside the folder and select the Rename 
option.
• Type ‘.old’ at the end of the file name as an extension and save it.
• Run QB Database Server Manager and move under the Scan Folders tab.
• Select the QB folder using the Browse option and click Start Scan.
• Wait until the QBDT folder contents are scanned, and then try opening the company file 
again.

Solution 2- Run the QB File Doctor Tool to fix the data file 
damage
This error code can also develop if the company file becomes unreadable after taking 
damage. You can use the QB tool hub to fix the data file issues and make it usable for the 
software again. Follow these steps-
• Go to the Company file issues menu in the QB tool hub and select Run QuickBooks File 
Doctor Tool.
• Select your company file in the list if available or tap Browse.
• Type your QB Admin password to start the tool and wait patiently until the data file is 
completely repaired.
