Common Causes of QuickBooks Error 6143 ● Corrupted or Damaged Company File: Malware or unexpected shutdowns may corrupt your company files. ● Spaces in Company File Name: Unintended spaces at the end of the file name can trigger the error. ● Outdated QuickBooks Software: Running an older version can cause file incompatibility. ● Firewall or Antivirus Blocking Access: Security software may restrict QuickBooks from accessing network files. ● Improper QuickBooks Installation: Incomplete or faulty setups can disrupt file connectivity.

  2. ● Issues with Network Data File (.ND) and Transaction Log File (.TLG): These supporting files can get damaged and cause access errors. How to Fix QuickBooks Error 6143 – Step-by-Step 1.

  3. 5. Rename .ND and .TLG Files These network-related files can cause errors when corrupted: ● Open company file folder. ● Find files with the same name but extensions .ND and .TLG. ● Rename them by adding .OLD at the end (e.g., company.qbw.nd.OLD). ● Restart QuickBooks and open your company file. 6. Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings Ensure QuickBooks ports and files are allowed through firewall and antivirus: ● Add exceptions for QuickBooks in your security software. ● Open ports 8019, 56728, and 55378-55382. 7.
