Quickbooks 2014 error -6208,0

When opening a file on Computer1 from File Explorer, QB 14 open and prompts for the file password, then the error "We're sorry.  Quickbooks encountered a problem... blah blah view an article about there error.... blah blah.  Error codes: (-6208,0)."

 

The link in the message goes to an invalid page (who in their right mind would change their KB structure with hard links in their software?), this error is not documented in any QB or any Google search...

 

The same file opens fine on Computer2 (same domain) with no problem.  The file is located on a file server.  Both PCs are Win7 and fully up to date.

 

Latest updates applied to QB14.

 

ANY assistance is appreciated.

Quickbooks 2014 error -6208,0

Hello there, @lockoncc.

 

I'd be glad to get you pointed in the right direction in fixing error -6208,0 when opening a company file in QuickBooks.

 

This error is most common in QuickBooks and usually appears when you're trying to open your company file. It occurs for one of the following reasons:

  • Data is converted over a network.
  • There is damage in your file.
  • QuickBooks can’t communicate with the server.
  • There is more than one computer acting as the host for the data file.

 

This error code can be fixed by running the QuickBooks Company File Diagnostic Tool or by copying the backup file (.qbb extension) or company file (.qbw extension) to a local hard drive. You can then restore the backup or update the file before moving it back to its original location.

 

That should do it. Just in case you need other references in the future, you can also check out our site: Help articles for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please let me know if you need anything else or if you have additional questions in troubleshooting this error. I'm always here to help.
