QuickBooks Error 6000 832 occurs when attempting to open a company file, often due to issues with the hosting configuration or a corrupted file. Here’s how to troubleshoot:
- Check Hosting Settings:
- Ensure that only one computer is hosting the company file. To do this, go to File > Utilities in QuickBooks. If “Stop Hosting Multi-User Access” is visible, select it.
- Use the QuickBooks File Doctor:
- Download and run the QuickBooks Tool Hub, then select the Company File Issues tab and choose Run QuickBooks File Doctor. This tool can automatically detect and repair file issues.
- Rename the .ND and .TLG Files:
- Locate the folder containing your company file and find the files with the same name as your company file but with extensions .ND and .TLG. Right-click and select Rename, adding “.OLD” at the end (e.g., “CompanyName.nd.OLD”).
- Move the Company File:
- Try moving the company file to a different location, like the desktop, and open it from there. If it works, this may indicate an issue with the original file location.
- Restore from Backup:
- If the error persists, restore your company file from a recent backup to ensure data integrity.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it may require more advanced troubleshooting or assistance from a QuickBooks specialist.
