Electronic Medical Billing Software-Quickbooks Error -6190 -82
Intuit won’t support QuickBooks on a Linux server of any type in your computer network unless you pay for their $3000.00 Enterprise Solutions package. A Windows server is fine but if you run QuickBooks on Windows PCs while a Linux file server holds all the QuickBooks data files you may get a QuickBooks error code -6190 -82. I fixed this problem on a client’s server, let me tell you how.
The Problem: Users that needed QuickBooks logged in to the server and had Admin-level access but only the user that owned the company’s data file was able to access it. All other QuickBooks users were given the infamous -6190 -82 error code.
Partial Solution #1: I ran QuickBooks from a batch file that removed the “Read Only” file attribute.
Partial Solution #2: On the server I changed the ownership settings of the QB Data files to that group.
The Solution: After trying many solutions that at best worked only temporarily, In noticed the file permissions for the .TLG file had changed on the server. This encouraged me to look for what would change them and how to stop it. After testing, changing, testing, changing and retesting, I finally have the complete solution to the problem.
1. Put all users who need QuickBooks access in 1 user group.
2. Make the group created in step #1 the owner of your .QBW and .TLG file with “Read and Write” permissions.
3. On each users computer (at least the ones who backup the QuickBooks file), set the program NOT to verify the backup data.
4. The problem has been fixed.
Why do you need to do this? You can set the permissions on the .TLG file to whatever you choose but if you still verify the backup data, QuickBooks it creates a new .TLG file with the same name. That causes the file’s permissions to be reset. So backing up without verifying saves the file permissions and allows everyone to use the QuickBooks data files with a Linux server.
