What Does Error Code -6190, -816 Mean?


According to Intuit, Error Code -6190, -816: “QuickBooks was unable to open the file [pathfilename] on the host” is a mistake that will occur when running QuickBooks in multi-user mode on a Linux server.  It’s caused because the company file (a file with an extension of .qbw) does not match the transaction log (a file with an extension of .tlg).  If an organization file without having the matching transaction log file was updated on another computer and copied back once again to the server, the 2 files wouldn’t match.


The easy fix is to locate the mismatched transaction log file (.tlg) and delete it.  QuickBooks will automatically re-create it on startup.


It’s an excellent idea to understand the folder for which your QuickBooks company file and associated transaction log file are located.  Once you’ve resolved this error and certainly will successfully launch QuickBooks, it is possible to confirm the File Information for that company by pressing F2 while QuickBooks is running.  Doing this will display this product Information window.  The Location field shows the trail compared to that company file.If you want to Fix QuickBooks Error 6190-816,contact QuickBooks.
