Solution 2- Run the QuickBooks Database Server Manager to scan the QuickBooks folder
• This issue can also develop if a file required for the multi-user network setup isn’t
• registered. You must use the Database Server Manager as given in the steps below-
• Run QuickBooks Database Server Manager and go to the Scan Folders tab.
