I just installed QBPro2019 to update from Pro2016. No problem opening 2016 company files in 2019 software, restored without issue. But, every time I back up a file, there are errors.... Ran rebuild file... some errors fixed, but Error 195 (4) couldn't fix. I checked for updates in Pro2019, restarted computer, opened QB Co File, tried backup again-same error!

The only reference to 'Error 195' links to user so f...ng angry, referencing QB "Non-Customer Support" on day 4 of waiting for the promised call within 24hrs. He asserted "You've grown too fast and customer can't keep up!" "...needs complete overhaul." Being a user since Intuit launched QB from a 3-man office in Novato, CA in 1980s, I would have to agree with the assertion!

My company files will not backup without errors! The only help available is a default link to generic list of errors or discussion room w/ other desperate QB customers who may or may not have resolved their problems... we don't know, can't ask because Admin. was offended and closed thread? Where is the QB SUPPORT promised WITH newly PURCHASED SOFTWARE?

News Flash-I'm another angry customer who is begging the professional community to design a competing software that will put QB B.S. on notice!

How big is your file size? To isolate the issue, open your data file on trial license of QBD 2020

I don't want to download, install, restore my company files to yet another version of QB to spend another 8hrs trying to 'isolate' what is clearly a tech support issue. Why is this my problem on my dime? Where the hell is QB support?

I appreciate you for performing some steps to fix this error, iammoe62.

At this time, it's best to reach out to our Phone Support team. An agent will take a look at your account. I will also escalate this issue to our Technical Support Department. This way, they will find the root cause of why you're getting a 195 error when trying back up the company file.

Here are the steps on how to get in touch with our Phone Support agents:

Click the Help menu and select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
Scroll down and then click the Contact Us button.
Enter 195 error as your keyword.
Click Continue.
Select either Start messaging or Get a callback.

You can also take a look at restoring a backup copy of your company file for more information.

I'm just a post away if you still need my assistance!

I called your Quickbooks Tech support yesterday and HER solution was deleting ABANDONING that account, making it "Inactive", Creating a new bank account and carrying over the balance from THE SAME BANK ACCOUNT and changing the name to NEW old bank account. I had to do this for year ending 2021. I'M NOT DOING IT AGAIN. I really hate QBs. I hope the DOJ goes after you guys. The inablility to upgrade seemlessly is the reason the users don't upgrade. Instead of fixing the issue, Intuit forces it.

Use a third party repair service gets the job done with guaranteed results.
Files are repaired in the same version of QuickBooks which means you wont be forced
to upgrade to the latest version of QuickBooks. Most data recovery service comes with
a money-back guarantee and so you don’t pay really pay anything if the error isnt fixed.

PM me if you need a recommendation.

I want to let people know how I fixed this issue. It appears that when Quickbooks updated to the 2020 version, they stopped using certain data fields. Unfortunately they didn't tell the other parts of the program that they weren't available anymore, so those parts still needed the data. So it gave an error about needing the data even though there were no fields to fill in! I had 2 accounts that thought they were online even though I had decommissioned them back in 2010. Every time I tried to remove them from the online, quickbooks would crash. One was a bank account, the other a credit card. So, for the bank account I noticed it had no customer ID on the online tab. I made up an ID number and saved it, then went back and I was able to deactivate it without quickbooks crashing. This didn't work for the credit card account because it wouldn't let me save it with just the id field filled in. It wanted more fields filled in that didn't exist! Luckily I only had about 20 transactions in that account, so I created a new account and edited each transaction in the old account to be in the new account. Then I was able to delete the old account. And now I can backup and my file passes verification. I was online with quickbooks support for 5 hours and they couldn't figure it out, but as I was working with them I was trying a lot of things and this worked. I hope this helps somebody out there.

I got this error on client's DT Pro 2020, along with Error 2 which seemed to indicate encryption damage. The bank account wouldn't connect - it said it was, but it wouldn't download. Info on Error 2 said "change the password". I disconnected the bank account and changed the password on QB, which re-encrypts the data. Surprisingly, all fixed. Bank connected and downloading. Hope that helps.

I have recently installed QB 2020 desktop versions after I received Error code 195 with my previous version of QB. When I went to open and save my previous data files, I still got Error 195. So upgrading to QB 2020 and even rebuilding the data does not fix the problem. I also have been a long term customer of QB and have become very frustrated with the customer service over the last few decades.

This is not the impression we want you to experience using QuickBooks Desktop, Winston Rego.

Upgrading and updating your QuickBooks Desktop are two different things. If you haven't tried updating your QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release version, I suggest doing so. This can fix the common errors within the software like Error 195.

Here's how to manually update your software:

Go to the Help menu.
Select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
Click the Options tab.
Select Mark All and then click Save.
Go to the Update Now tab.
Select the Reset Update checkbox.
When you're ready, select Get Updates.

To give you more insight and visual guide on how to update QuickBooks Desktop, please check out this article: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

If the error continuesl, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Care Support. I know that you've already reached us for the same issue. However, our phone support has the tools to conduct a thorough investigation to identify the reason why you're getting the error and come up with a fix.

Here are the steps to contact support:

Click Help at the top menu and select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
In the Have a Question? window, enter a topic.
Click Contact us.
Hit the Stat Messaging button.

Please take note our operating hours for chat support depends on the version of QuickBooks that you're using. Please see this article for more details: Support hours and types.

Keep me posted for additional questions or other concerns. I'd be more than happy to help. Wishing you the best of luck.

I get this error message everytime I back up my files and cannot find a way to get rid of it or find out what is causing it. I have even called to no avail.

Which QB Desktop year version do you have? How big is the file size?

Hello there, pbennett828.

It isn't the kind of experience we want you to come across.

Let's isolate what's causing the error by updating your file to the latest release.

I'll show you how:

Open your QuickBooks company file.
From the Help menu, click Update QuickBooks Desktop.
Go to the Update Now tab.
Click Get Updates to start the download.

For the detailed steps I mentioned, you can click here.

Then, follow the steps in this article on how to fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file. After that, let's create a backup to see if the error persists.

I've added this article for the detailed steps to create a backup: Create a backup copy of your company file.

Feel free to get back to us if you have other questions. You keep safe always!

I had been having the error 195 for 2 years and could never resolve it. We obviously don't have support since this program was gotten through TechSoup for non-profits.

Last week I was reading all the comments and finally found the fix. Mine started when I tried to set up download from bank to post directly into my QB desktop. So my fix was to open my "chart of accounts" and, on mine, the very top one is my bank, I opened edit, and REMOVED the bank account number and did save and close. I then closed and I don't have the error anymore. geez louise that was so simple. I suggest you try that for ANY of the bank feeds that you might have set up and delete the account number. I may never try to set up for download again as we are a small church with small number of entries that I can enter manually easily. Hope this helps someone else. ChrisJeanes

Advanced System User Resolution (Manually)
Firstly, start your system. After that, log in as an administrator.
Next, move to the start button and choose All Programs. After that, go to Accessories and then System Tools. Finally, press the System Restore option.
After that, a replacement window will open in which you have to click on “Restore my laptop to an earlier time” and click on the Next button.
Now from the “On this list” option, you need to pick the restore system to an earlier time option.
Click a restore point list and click on the Next button.
Click Next on the confirmation window.
Lastly, restart your computer once the restoration is complete

Hope this helps

Thank you so much for taking the time to send an answer to my inquiry. I did get it fixed but all I had to do was remove the bank account number inside my "chart of accounts" for that bank. It had been on for several years and began when I tried to set up for downloading bank data directly into QB. So I did not have a "good" previous copy to use. But it absolutely removed the error once I removed the bank account number from that chart of accounts. Thanks again!

I got that code, but more so:
"Non-Customer Support" on day 4 of waiting for the promised call within 24hrs. He asserted "You've grown too fast and customer can't keep up!" "...needs complete overhaul." Being a user since Intuit launched QB from a 3-man office in Novato, CA in 1980s, I would have to agree with the assertion!
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO READ about 2 other human beings being in the mire with this lame company.
