    • QuickBooks Error H505 occurs when a workstation cannot connect to the company file hosted on another computer (typically in multi-user mode). This is usually caused by network or firewall issues blocking communication between QuickBooks and the host computer. Common Causes of H505 Error 🔹 Firewall blocking QuickBooks (Windows Defender or third-party antivirus) 🔹 Incorrect network configuration (host computer not properly set up) 🔹 Damaged QuickBooks installation or outdated version 🔹 Incorrect file permissions (hosted company file not accessible) 🔹 Network connectivity issues (Wi-Fi/Ethernet problems) How to Fix QuickBooks Error H505 ✅ Method 1: Basic Troubleshooting (Quick Fixes) Restart QuickBooks & Computer – Sometimes a simple restart resolves connectivity issues. Switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet (if possible) for a more stable connection. Verify Hosting is Enabled on the server computer: Open QuickBooks on the host computer. Go to File > Utilities > Host Multi-User Access. ✅ Method 2: Use QuickBooks File Doctor Download & run QuickBooks File Doctor (via QuickBooks Tool Hub). Select "Network Issues" > "Check Your Network". Click "Repair Your Network" if errors are found. ✅ Method 3: Configure Windows Firewall Open Windows Defender Firewall (firewall.cpl). Click "Allow an app through firewall" > "Change settings". Add QBW32.exe and QBDBMgrN.exe (from QuickBooks installation folder). Ensure Private & Public access is allowed. ✅ Method 4: Reinstall QuickBooks Database Server Manager Uninstall QB Database Server Manager: Go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall. Remove QuickBooks Database Server Manager. Reinstall it from the QuickBooks installation folder. ✅ Method 5: Check File & Folder Permissions On the host computer, locate the company file (.QBW). Right-click the folder > Properties > Security. Ensure "Everyone" or the correct user has Full Control. Still Getting H505? Try These Advanced Fixes 🔹 Disable IPv6 (can interfere with QuickBooks networking). 🔹 Reset Winsock & TCP/IP (run netsh winsock reset in Command Prompt as Admin). 🔹 Update Network Drivers (outdated drivers can cause connectivity problems). Prevent H505 Errors in the Future ✔ Keep QuickBooks & Windows updated. ✔ Use a wired connection (Ethernet) for better stability. ✔ Regularly back up your company file. Did this fix your H505 error? If not, let me know what steps you’ve tried, and I’ll help further! 🚀
