QuickBooks is one of the most modern accounting software applications available, with a plethora of capabilities for reliable and secure financial data management. The QuickBooks multi-user feature is one of the software’s functions. It enables numerous users from different workstations to collaborate on the same company file.
If you’re unable to access a company file on a different computer, you will receive the QuickBooks Error Code H505. We’ve covered all of the likely causes and their fixing methods in this blog.
QuickBooks Multi-User Error H505 occurs when a user attempts to transfer company files or their data to another computer that does not have the required configuration, or it requires further installation and setup. These H series errors occur due to hosting settings.
Because one or more of the user’s Desktop computers is designated to be the QuickBooks server, this error code flashes on the screen. It should be noted that while the user’s computers can operate in multi-user mode, only the server, i.e. the system that hosts the company data, should be the sole device configured to serve as the host.
To begin, close QuickBooks and navigate to the Start menu.
Then you must take the following paths:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc
C:\Windows\Syswow64\Drivers\Etc
Note: If you can’t locate the Windows folder on your computer, use the method mentioned below to look for hidden files and directories.
We hope that the above-mentioned fixes will help resolve the QuickBooks Error Code H505 issue. However, if you still can’t deal with QuickBooks Multi-User Error H505, then visit a support team to help you out with the issue.
