Question

Why am I having Error -6129, 101: "An error occurred when Reckon Accounts tried to access the company file."?

Answer

This error indicates that Reckon Accounts could not access your file because of either:

·         There is a problem with your multi-user setup

·         Your Reckon Accounts installation is damaged.

    1. Open Reckon Accounts on a computer that does not host the company file.
    2. Click the File menu and click Utilities.

                                         ii.    If Host Multi-User Access appears on the menu, stop and proceed to the next step.

    1. Repeat steps b.i and b.ii on all workstations that do not host the company data file.

    1. Right-click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop and click Manage.
    2. Double-click Services and Applications, and then click Services.

3. 2022: 31

3. 2023: 32

    1.  If Stop is not greyed out:

click Stop then right-click the service again and click Start.

If both Stop and Start are greyed out:

                                        1.    Click Properties.

a.    Click Add Folder, browse to the folder that contains the company file, select it, and click OK.

b.    Repeat this step if there are more folders that contain company files.

c.    Click Scan, and then click Close.

 

b.    If the host computer has the full Reckon Accounts application installed:

    1. Open Reckon Accounts
    2. Click the File menu and click Utilities

                                        1.    If Stop Hosting Multi-User Access appears on the menu, leave it alone and proceed to the next step.

a.    Open the company file

b.    Click the File menu:

                                        3.    If Switch to Single-user Mode appears on the menu, leave it alone and proceed to the next step.

                                        4.    If Switch to Multi-user Mode appears on the menu, click it to allow more than one user to access the company file at a time.

                                        5.    Repeat Step 2 for each company file.


3.  Ensure the QBDataServiceUser(XX) user for your version of Reckon Accounts has full access to the folder where the company file is stored.

 

You should be able to successfully access your company file.

 

4.  If the problem persists

  1. Confirm that the problem exists on one PC only
  2. Clean uninstall and reinstall Reckon Accounts on that PC
