Step-by-Step Solutions

Try the following troubleshooting steps in order. If the issue persists after each, move on to the next.

✅ 1. Suppress QuickBooks While Opening

This avoids triggering the last open file, which might be corrupted.

Steps:

• Hold down the Ctrl key and double-click the QuickBooks icon.

• Keep holding Ctrl until you see the “No Company Open” screen.

• Open your company file from there.

✅ 2. Rename the .ND and .TLG Files

These files can become damaged and cause access errors.

Steps:

1. Locate your company file folder.

2. Find the files with the same name as your company file but ending in .ND and .TLG.

   • Example: CompanyName.qbw.nd and CompanyName.qbw.tlg

3. Rename them to .nd.old and .tlg.old.

4. Reopen QuickBooks. It will auto-create new versions.

✅ 3. Move the File Locally

If the company file is stored on a network, temporarily copy it to your local desktop.

• Open QuickBooks and browse to the local copy.

• If it works, the issue may be with your network or shared folder permissions.

✅ 4. Run QuickBooks File Doctor

The File Doctor Tool scans and fixes common file and network issues.

Steps:

• Download the QuickBooks Tool Hub from Intuit.

• Open Tool Hub and select Company File Issues > Run QuickBooks File Doctor.

• Select your file and choose to check both file and network issues.

✅ 5. Check Hosting and Permissions

Ensure the server is the only machine set to host the company file.

Steps:

• Go to File > Utilities on each workstation.

  • If you see Host Multi-User Access, do nothing.

  • If you see Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, click to disable it.

Also verify that your folder has full read/write access on the workstation.

✅ 6. Create a New Windows User Profile

User profiles can become corrupted.

Steps:

• Create a new Windows admin user on your workstation.

• Log in under the new profile and try accessing QuickBooks again.

✅ 7. Update QuickBooks and Windows

Old versions of QuickBooks and Windows are more prone to unrecoverable errors.

Steps:

• In QuickBooks, go to Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop.
