Backwhen dinosaurs roamed the earth, there were these things called software manuals that went into great detail about the functionality of the product and gave detailed descriptions of things such as error codes.

I've searched the Quickbooks site, Quickbooks Help, and Google all to no avail. Apparently "Error codes" or "Error code list" is too much for Intuit's search to comprehend. Same for "Error 165" or "Error 292".


Dear Support people: Please do not post a reply that tells me to contact Support. I shouldn't have to just to see a list of error codes. If you want to provide a link of error codes, that's great. Don't tell me to call. Also, I find that support can't handle anything other than the most basic issues.


I hope that you're able to get an explanation of the error code that you may be receiving. Please inform me of the details you gather from it. I'll be back around shortly to ensure all of your concerns are addressed. Have a splendid afternoon!


The list you kindly provided does not have these errors listed. The error message itself does not give a good explanation of what it is. The link that appears next to the Error Summary (Ex: Error 136 (2) See Offline Article) points to a page that has moved. The next link in the chain is just a generic support page. Searching on the error does nothing.


With everything being said, the only list of error codes and explanations is the one I provided you with. To get an answer to why is are appearing when using the Verify and Rebuild tool, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team. They'll be able to use advanced tools to look at the back end of your account. Here's how:


One of my client's files keeps getting the same error messages, pretty much daily. Supposedly the software has "fixed the issue," but obvoiusly not. It does not matter which machine I do a back up from, the client's desktop, my MS Surface or my office desktop.... same error. Find it laughable that we cannot get a decent explaination about the error codes so we can fix the problem without QB Support having to dial into our computers - not happening on my machines.


It's my priority to give you and your client the best possible experiences while working with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Thus, I'm here to share with you the troubleshooting steps to isolate and fix these error messages.


Error codes or notifications happen when the QuickBooks data is damaged or the company file can't be read correctly by QuickBooks. To resolve these errors, you can start by installing the QuickBooks Tool Hub and fix the file from there. For the best experience, it's recommended to use the Tool Hub on Windows 10, 64-bit.


If the error continues, I suggest repairing your QuickBooks Desktop or uninstall and reinstall QuickBooks using the clean install process. This tool can help fix common errors right away and get back to business smoothly.


I agree. I have the same error codes. I don't understand why they are not able to tell us what the codes mean. If QuickBooks has an error code listed then it should also have an explanation. This is very poor customer support.


Can you tell me where your company file is saved? These errors usually occur when your company file is located on a network. We can run a series of troubleshooting steps to make sure that your file is free of any possible data damage. Before doing so, let's ensure that your is up-to-date with the latest release.


Let's start by utilizing our QuickBooks Tool Hub. You can follow the steps provided by my peers Angelyn_T to install and run these tools. This will scan your file and resolve some data errors. If still the same, you can restore your most recent backup copy. Let me walk you through the steps.


I agree with corky3293. All I want to know right now is WHAT THE ERROR CODE MEANS. From there, I can figure out whether I need to contact support or if it's something I can investigate myself. Quickbooks is SO frustrating!!!


If you have performed the troubleshooting steps provided above, but still getting the same result, I recommend reaching out to our Customer Care Team. They have more tools to review what's causing these errors, and can check with our Tier 2 support to get the meaning on each error code.


In case you need help with other task in QuickBooks Desktop, please feel free to visit our general help topics page. This is where you can find help articles, Community discussions, video tutorials and more.


The error codes are not inclusive in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). You may encounter errors that are not listed in the articles. Rest assured the troubleshooting steps provided in the article can help us isolate and fix the issue. I'll be glad to guide you how.


I totally agree with all here . . . I just want to know what the particular Error Codes mean after a Verify and Rebuild. They are pretty consistent numbers so not sure on that earlier comment. I'm NOT looking for support or Tool Hub walk thru, just what the codes mean so we can determine what might have happened to be more proactive in our future solutions! I also get Error 179, Error 73, Error 21.


The errors you've encountered usually appear when there's damage to the company file and a corrupted QuickBooks Data file (.QBW). And QuickBooks Desktop logs when you rebuild them through the QBWin.log file.


However, If you follow the recommended steps and it did not work for you. I highly recommend contacting our Phone Support Team. This way, they can further investigate this matter and create an investigation ticket if other users experiencing the same. They can also provide additional troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.


This absolutely does NOT answer the question about what the error codes mean!! This is a simple question which should have a very simple answer. Why QB refuses to divulge the code meanings is beyond me. Ridiculous.


As mentioned by my colleagues above, errors usually occur when the QuickBooks data is damaged. Or the company file can't be read correctly by QuickBooks. And to fix this issue, you can install the QuickBooks Tool Hub and resolve the file from there.


If the error continues, you can utilize the Rebuild Data tool. It's a built-in tool that can help automatically fix data issues with your company file. For the step-by-step guide, please see this article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

Reaching out for possible insight into workgroup problem. Small workgroup with Windows 10 build 1709 and Macs. 2 of each. There is no server - simple work group. The only thing that was shared on this network and requirement was running QuickBooks 2016 in multi-user mode / running QBooks DataBase Manager. This worked fine for a while. On occasion we had to run QB data file doctor or map a driver etc to reconnect to the shared drive but not too long ago after both systems got on build 1709 started getting error code 0x80070035, The network path was not found


My question to the community is twofold: Have any of you experienced the same problem of unable to connect to \computername or \192.168.1.x or mapping a drive etc accessing other computers using server 2016 and windows 10?


Adrian Thanks for your reply but ALL & MORE settings, trouble shooting scenarios etc have been exhausted. I really am reaching out for specific experience fellow techs may have resolving or not resolving this so specific connection issues it relates to moving to a server AND QBooks Database Manager / multi-user mode


If you do not have Domain controllers where people usually also integrate their DC with DHCP and DNS so that most of the networking portion are gelled together, you have to troubleshoot networking, shared folder credentials and also logged on credentials issues meshed into one big ball of mess.


One easy workaround is to get a cheap NAS and then have a static IP address set and shared folder using a NAS local user eg: QB_User, Password and the credentials set with passwords never expire. Then user when accessing the shared folder DO NOT tick save password in case QB_user password changes.


If you have a workgroup with XP or Windows 7 and/or Server 2008, 2011 along with Windows 10 (pre- creators) - then your likely not having same issues and interactions between systems will be different.


My specific environment is related to a connectivity issue between 2 Windows 10 systems build 1709 it has been compounded and brought to light because QBooks 2016 is shared from one system in multi user mode. This is not ideal but supported for under 5 users then you have to go to Enterprise version. I believe also sharing from a server requires going to Enterprise version for better functionality.


One can ping other devices and they show up in network but one is unable to connect. Documentation covers everything from SMB, LanManager Parameters, DHCP and DNS, static IPs, IPv4 and IPv6 (or not) the list is too huge and honestly I would never come on this forum and ask for help to troubleshoot this connection problem. I would consider it lazy on my part.
