Hi, @terriharmon52 
QuickBooks Error 6123 typically indicates issues with the company file or network setup. Start by ensuring your QuickBooks and Windows are up to date. Check your network connection and firewall settings to ensure QuickBooks can access the file. Try opening the file on a different computer or using the QuickBooks File Doctor tool to repair file damage. Additionally, verify that the company file is not damaged by restoring a backup if necessary.
