Script Error "Expected Identifier" - QB Desktop 2019

I appreciate the efforts you've taken to remove the error, Erss . We can add Intuit as a trusted website in your settings. Let's work together to get you back to your business.

A damaged Windows user profile, previously unsaved changes, or disabled script processing tools and features in QuickBooks can lead to this error, especially since you are using the discontinued version of QBDT 2019. To resolve this, consider adding Intuit as a trusted site. This will allow QuickBooks to connect to the Intuit servers without restrictions and help fix the error.

1. Press Windows + R, and type inetcpl.cpl, press Enter, and from under Settings, go to the Security tab.
2. Under the Trusted Sites section, add *Intuit.com as a trusted website and return to the Trusted Sites window.
3. Now unmark the Require server verification (https:) option.
4. Exit the Trusted Sites window and unmark the Enable Protected Mode option.
5. Close the internet settings and try to rerun QuickBooks Desktop. 

If you still get a script error after following the recommended troubleshooting steps, I encourage you to contact our customer support. They can assist you in checking your account and guide you through the resolution process.

You can also consider upgrading to a newer version to enjoy new features, improved performance, and enhanced security. For more information, you can check this article: Upgrade to QuickBooks Desktop 2024 within the software.

Got it, so this error is an error not connecting to QB server?  

As of now, you are not able to "update" QB desktop 2019, even to the last update is that correct?

Also, this error is not a program error, and does not effect QB usage?

Yes, upgrading your version of QuickBooks Desktop is no longer possible due to its discontinuation, Erss.

Right, we understand there's no more updates on Desktop 2019, but the error there is related to linking QB to QB Server for ads?

@Erss 

Which Windows OS do you run? You are not using Win 10 or 11, correct?

Win10.  No issues before, and literally the day before.

Try to reinstall your Desktop 2019. Did you encounter the same problem?

What a horrible idea, once reinstalled can't even get the original updates....    

Can no one tell me exactly what does the script error effect on QB?

Thank you for giving a real answer!

Given the previous answer... Am I to select YES to continue running scripts on this page?

I do not use online, nor do I have employees that require me linking to a bank.

I was very disappointed with QB for discontinuing the stand alone desktop version.

I am semi-retired and just want my reliable version to get me through these next few years.

I have Desktop Premier Contractors 2018.

@Bill Plumbguy 

Am I to select YES to continue running scripts on this page?

Select No.

I was very disappointed with QB for discontinuing the stand alone desktop version.

There's a chance they'll still release Enterprise 2027 next year.. 

I am semi-retired and just want my reliable version to get me through these next few years.

You can still find Desktop 2020 or 2021 wirh a non subscription license to upgrade your version if required.

I went to internet options, then security tab, then added the script url to restricted sites. Haven't seen it since.

I'm using 2019 stand alone version of Desktop Pro

All the other fixes don't work because the Script error is mainly for the online overpriced version. Haven't had any problems with forms or how the Desktop version works, since I denied its access.

How did you add the script?

I copied and pasted the url from the error. starting with https etc. Or you can just type it in as it appears.
