- Configure Firewall Settings:
- Check your firewall and antivirus settings on both the server and the workstations.
- Ensure that QuickBooks and the QuickBooks Database Server Manager are allowed through the firewall. You may need to add exceptions for specific QuickBooks files, such as:
- QBW32.exe
- QBDBMgrN.exe
- QBCFMonitorService.exe
- Verify QuickBooks Services:
- Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.
- Look for the services named QuickBooksDBXX (where XX is the version number) and QBCFMonitorService.
- Ensure both services are running. If not, right-click and select Start.
- Repair QuickBooks Installation:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
- Select QuickBooks and choose the Repair option. Follow the prompts to complete the repair process.
- Use QuickBooks File Doctor:
- Download and run the QuickBooks File Doctor tool from the Intuit website. This tool can automatically diagnose and fix issues related to the company file and network.
- Update QuickBooks:
- Ensure you have the latest version of QuickBooks installed. Updates often include important bug fixes and improvements.
- Go to Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop to check for updates.
- Access the Company File Locally:
- Try opening the company file directly on the host computer. If it opens without issues, the problem may be related to network settings.
- Reboot Your Computer and Network:
- Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart both the host computer and the workstations, as well as your router or modem.
- Consult QuickBooks Support:
- If you’ve tried all the above steps and still face Error H202, consider reaching out to QuickBooks support for professional assistance.
