Glad to have you here in the Community, @jburris.

 

 

I would like to share some insights on how to resolve the errors (-6129, 0) that occur when creating a new company and opening it in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Firstly, this error message is related to folder permissions. If the file was saved to the network, the folder where the file was saved should have full access instead of being restricted.

 

Secondly, this error might occur if you are using an outdated version of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Desktop 18 or if the QuickBooks database server manager is not compatible with your QuickBooks version.

 

To resolve this issue, we need to repair the software to fix any program-related problems with QuickBooks. Follow the steps mentioned below to proceed with the repair process:

 

  1. Create a backup your company file beforehand to avoid any accidental data loss.
  2. Reboot the computer and tap the Windows Start menu.
  3. Find Control Panel on the search field or select it from the list.
  4. Press Programs and Features then Uninstall a Program.
  5. Note: If you don't see Programs and Features, select Programs instead. Then select Program and Features.
  6. Pick QuickBooks from the list of Programs, then press Uninstall/Change.
  7. Click on Continue, or Next. then Repair.
  8. Press Next again then wait for the tool to start its diagnosis.
  9. Hit Finish when done.

Open the sample file and save it with a new file name. Replicate the process to open the company file multiple times. Did you encounter the same error message?
