QuickBooks is the simplest and more useful software to manage your daily accounting work. Although you confront some issues while working on this accounting software, it’s common to face such difficulty, after all no program can’t be made perfect. Network issues, corrupted data files and other related issues you face while accessing QuickBooks. If you are facing connection issue of the data file, then continue reading this blog as it will resolve your query.


When you are prompted to permit the diagnostic tool to open the firewall ports and it does not work well, then you need to work on the server. To run your QuickBooks database server, follow the given below steps:


  • Turn your system on and select the Start button located on the bottom-left corner of the screen.

  • Type services.msc in the search box and hit the Enter button.

  • This will open Services window. Locate QuickBooks server manager on the screen.

  • If any older database manager looks to be running then stop them and set them to ‘Disable’.

  • Ensure to set the service to Automatic and move ahead with further steps.

  • Now, on the Recovery tab, first failure and Second Failure section should be set to ‘Restart’ the Service.

  • Click OK button after making above changes.

  • Now, make a right-click on the service to Start or Restart.

  • Once the service gets to start, move back to the QuickBooks database server manager and rescan the folder.

  • When the file gets the display, move back to the clients and attempt to connect.


I hope the problem is solved now and if still, the connection issue persists, then some troubleshooting tips are as follows:


  • Make sure the only server is hosting the QuickBooks.

  • Copy the data file to a client machine and then try to login the data file. Also, create a portable copy of the data file and then copy it to the server. After restoration from the portable file, hopefully, you’ll get the connection restored.

  • Verify your .tlgfile linked with your data file. If needed, restore the .tlgfile.

  • If the problems persist the same then drop the firewall on the server and the client and then try to reconnect.
