I'm receiving a "QBDBMgrN not running" error when trying to access my QuickBooks company file. How can I fix this issue to get QuickBooks Database Server Manager working again?

Hi @RonnieRoot475 

If you encounter the "QBDBMgrN not running" error in QuickBooks, it typically indicates that the QuickBooks Database Server Manager (QBDBMgrN) service is not operating. This service is essential for QuickBooks to access your company files over a network. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Restart QuickBooks Database Server Manager: Go to Services (search in Windows), locate "QuickBooksDBXX" (where XX is your QuickBooks version), right-click and select Restart.
2. Check Installation: Ensure QuickBooks Database Server Manager is correctly installed on your server.
3. Firewall Settings: Confirm that your firewall is not blocking QuickBooks.

For persistent issues, contact QuickBooks support.
