Question

Why am I getting this error: 

"Adaptive server anywhere database engine has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Answer

This error may occur if:

  1. The company file is damaged
  2. Reckon Accounts was not correctly installed
  3. The installation has become corrupted
  4. The company file was copied to a USB, and the USB was removed without closing Reckon

Solution

If the error occurs when opening the Company File:
  1. As you relaunch Reckon Accounts, hold down Ctrl and Shift keys as you launch Reckon Accounts to access the No Company Open screen
  2. Open a different company file
  3. If you do not have another company file , use the sample file
    If you cannot open it from the "Sample Company File" button, you can find it here:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Sample Company Files\Reckon Accounts 20XX\
  4. Open the company file that was giving you the error
