To begin, go here and download the QuickBooks file doctor tool.
This file doctor tool should be installed and run on your computer.
This tool will automatically scan the server for errors and settle them.
Last but not least, restart your computer system.
Solution 2: Switch off hosting on all workstations that have network access to the file.
Configure only one of your QuickBooks desktop systems to host the QuickBooks company file if you're using it on multiple systems.
To turn off hosting on all workstations, follow these instructions.
Launch the QuickBooks Desktop application. Select the "File" icon and then the "Utilities" tab.
If you see the following in the list:
Host Multi-User Access – The machine isn't hosting the QuickBooks business file, so you can move on to the next one.
Stop allowing multiple users to access your website – After you've chosen that option, go ahead and do the following:
Click the "Yes" icon in the "Stop hosting multi-user Access" window.
