How To Troubleshoot QuickBooks Problems Related To Data File Management

Apply the Solutions

There are few manual troubleshooting tips are available to resolve these issues. Before applying anything QuickBooks suggests to run QuickBooks Doctor to resolve the issues. Otherwise the manual tips are:

  • Reducing Data Corruption: There are few points that can be responsible as data corruption and troubleshooting those can prevent the data from corruption. The size of the file is a major factor in corruption prevention. The larger size file can be a great risk. Reducing the size can resolve the problem. Another reason for data corruption is database fragments. To prevent that users need to resort the lists in data, rebuilt the data and then create and restore a portable company file. To prevent data corruption risk, users also need to check the Local Area Connection (LAN), wireless network and other network connections.

  • Solve trouble on copy / move data: If you are finding trouble during copying/ moving QuickBooks data file from your hard drive to a removable drive (for backup or migration purposes), and find out the file is locked, know that QuickBooks Server Manager and Directory Monitor have that file locked down. Close out QuickBooks, click Start/ Run, enter services.msc, look for the QuickBooks Data Recovery services, and stop those two. Once the services are stopped, you should be able to copy and paste that file.

  • Solve trouble while updating data: While edit a file or update it, sometimes the file shows an error message “Updating of Data File Failed”. In such case, check whether the file is corrupted. The rectification of such issue is the recovery of file or creating the file once again from the previously created file. Backup of file can be quite helpful in this case.
