All over the world, business owners trust QuickBooks to do their accounting and financial work. QuickBooks is a strong accounting program with tools and features that are easy to use. Even though it's state-of-the-art software, it has bugs just like any other program. Users might sometimes run into mistakes that could slow down their work. QuickBooks Error Code 6000 77 is a regular problem that users report. If you've also seen this problem when trying to open a "company file," you can read this blog post to find out all the possible reasons and ways to fix it.

What causes Error 6000-77 in QuickBooks?

QB Error 6000 77 could be caused by one or more of the following:

• The local drive, which is on an external storage device, needs to have the company file on it.
• Number of files opened on QuickBooks that were linked to a shared drive.
• QuickBooks is running in a mode that lets more than one person use it at the same time.
• The company file is not on a local drive or a network. Instead, it is stored on an external drive.
• "Incorrect folder permission" is written on a folder that has a company file in it.
• The company file is being opened by a mapped drive.

Instant fixes for the problem

• You can first reboot the QuickBooks software with more rights. In many situations, the problem goes away after the software is restarted, and no further work is needed.
• You can also open the QuickBooks file repair tool. The tool can fix broken or corrupted QuickBooks files. The utility fails in QuickBooks file recovery and fixes the problem. This is because of its weak and simple technology.
• If the company file was on an external drive, move it to a local or network drive. You need to try to open the QBW file in QuickBooks.
• If the company file mentions the mapped drive, change the settings and choose the right server. You can do this by going to the file menu and clicking on open or resume. Then, select open a company file and click on network place. Hit on the entire network and pick the server where the company file is saved.
