Effective methods to tackle QB error code 6000 83

You will face this recurring error whenever you open a data file or try hosting it on the multi-user network. The techniques to resolve this company file error are mentioned below-

Solution 1- Ensure the QB hosting settings are accurate on the server and workstations

QuickBooks allows sharing the company file data on a server computer running in multi-user mode. All the workstations must use the single-user mode for a successful multi-user network setup and to connect with the data file. The multi-user network instantly fails when one or more workstations run in multi-user mode. You’ll see continuous error messages when you try switching the server to multi-user mode or when you open a company file. You need to configure the hosting settings accurately, as mentioned below-

Launch QuickBooks on the system where you received this error code and click the File menu.
Select Utilities and click the Stop Hosting Multi-user Access option.
Switch all the workstations to single-user mode using the same steps.
Go to the computer holding the company file (server) and launch QBDT.
Approach the Utilities option in the File menu.
Click the Host multi-user access option to switch the software to multi-user mode.
Reboot all the systems and open the company file in multi-user mode on the server.

If the error appears again after fixing the hosting settings, check out the next solution.
