Let me help and make sure that you have uninterrupted access to the Accounting Center in QuickBooks Desktop.

Let's start by resetting the updates to keep your software up to date and to fix common QuickBooks Desktop issues.

Here's how:

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.

Hi Jim,

I appreciate you sharing details about your product and the steps you've performed to resolve the issue. I can help you fix the error when receiving payments in QuickBooks Desktop.

Since QuickBooks isn't allowing you to update the release, let's proceed with running the Verify Data and Verify Rebuild tools. These features in QuickBooks will help self-identify data issues within a company file and self-resolve them using Rebuild Data. 

To run Verify Data:

1. Click the File tab at the top menu bar.
2. Hover your cursor to Utilities.
3. Select Verify Data.

Next, run the Rebuild Data option through these steps:

1. Click the File tab at the top menu bar.
2. Hover your cursor to Utilities.
3. Select Verify Rebuild.

Once done, let's download and run the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub to fix common problems and errors. This add-on tool contains tools to resolve unusual behaviors like the one you're getting on your end:

Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
3. Open the file.
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the install finishes, double-click the QuickBooks Tool Hub icon.
6. Run the diagnostic tool for program problems.

We also have a list of top data damage errors you might encounter in QuickBooks Desktop. For more information about the types of data damage as well as the list of errors, check out this article: Top data damage errors in QuickBooks Desktop.

Thank you for the reply AlcaeusF, 

We completed the steps above and are still not able to receive payments.  We will review the damage errors list next i suppose.  For our agency, Receive Payments is a core need, is there another source at Intuit we can reach out to, a representative on our account that can help?  We are in a hosted environment so need to kick four accountants out of the system for single user mode troubleshooting.

Thanks!

We keep getting this error in Quickbooks Premier 2020 desktop.  We are not trying to receive payments; the message just pops up randomly.  It occurs in different companies.  The installation of Quickbooks has the latest updates.  

I am getting the same error message (Something's not right....).  When I try to access the help center, it closes the program, so that is not going to work.  I need to run payroll today, to time is of the utmost importance!

I am also getting the same message when opening the accountant's center on my client's file.  I have tried re-installing the updates and verifying the file.  Nothing has worked.  This is frustrating when trying to return your work back to your client.

I understand how you feel about getting the error message when opening the accountant's center on the client file in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), jessgjessg. 

I'm here to share additional steps in resolving the issue. Let's run the QuickBooks Desktop Toolhub and run the program diagnostic tool to resolve common issues.

I am also getting this message  when I sign into QuickBooks on our server.  When I try to verify data integrity I get the message that there are problems with the company file and to do a rebuild - if I choose to view errors before the build  the message pops up again.  If I go through with the rebuild data file and it comes to the end with the message  "rebuilding has completed" and I choose View Results that message pops up again.

I ended up converting my client's file to one year newer version on QuickBooks Enterprise (from 2022 to 2023) and it resolved the issue. It was just annoying.and time consuming.

I understand your frustration with the error received within your company file, @Kathryn. Since the issue persisted, I can help you resolve this by suggesting another workaround.

First, are you using QuickBooks Desktop version 2022? If you do, I can recommend switching to a new version (2023) and converting the client's data there to help it perform seamlessly without issues.

Nonetheless, if you are using QuickBooks Desktop version 2023, I encourage you to call your support team to review your account and why the error message keeps appearing on your screen.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu at the top, then QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
2. Click Contact Us.
3. Give a short description of your error, then select Continue.
4. Sign in to your Intuit account. Choose Continue and then Continue with my account.
5. We'll email you a single-use code. Enter your code and tick Continue.
6. Select to chat with us or Have us call you.
