Hi all, I’m encountering QuickBooks Error 6209 0 when trying to open or update my company file. The error seems to be related to file damage or configuration issues. I’ve attempted using the File Doctor tool and updating QuickBooks, but the problem persists. Has anyone else dealt with this error? Any solutions or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
