Try copy the QBW file to your local machine and open it. If the same error persists, your company file is damaged. Call and ask Intuit Data Service to fix it. Otherwise, consider purchasing a 3rd party file repair service.

Funny thing is, I tried to copy the file to other folder on the same server. It temporary works for 1-2 days then it happened again. 

I tried to contact supporter through chat. We don't have solution yet. Can you guy on higher support level jump in and help. It's very urgent for our company!

The error I get is:
