I'd share. The text of this error message was something to the effect of "cannot connect to database server," however, mine was a single user installation with the company file residing locally. I realize QuickBooks may http://www.scotthaggard.com/2013/01/quickbooks-error-6123-0.html use a database server to connect to even a local database, but the knowledge base article on Intuit's website for error -6123, 0 was aimed at situations that did not apply to me. I was not using the company file over the network, I was not in multi-user mode, nor was I restoring a backup. I went through a bunch of things, including the use of the QuickBooks File Doctor, which said my quickbooks error database was perfect. I disabled Windows firewall, and was using no other. I restored a backup of the company file using Windows Previous Versions. I checked QuickBooks services but found nothing that jumped out at me. I was stymied. I started thinking about how I had the system set up. The computer is joined to a domain, so I logged in as Domain Administrator, tested QuickBooks, and it worked. The user I have set quickbooks error 6123 up to use QuickBooks doesn't have local admin, and I'd rather avoid giving it to her if possible. So I started Googling and ended up finding another Intuit knowledge base article for "Configuring multi-user access requires Windows Admin rights". Even though I'm not in a multi-user scenario, I decided to see if the information was helpful anyway, and it turns out it was. Solution: For QuickBooks Pro 2008, there is a Windows user account called "QBDataServiceUser18" which I added to the local Administrators group. That did the trick and now my user can access QuickBooks without that pesky error anymore, and without admin rights!

I have added my QBDataServiceUser17 to the administration group but this did not resolve my issue. When I tried to open Quickbooks Database Server Manager is stated that I need to turn on hosting (Open Quickbooks and click File, Utilities, and then click Host Multi-User Access). When I opened this, it already stated that the Multi-User access is enabled, do I want to disable it? I then chose yes to disable and once it was disabled, I was able to open my quickbooks again.Just thought to shar
