Solution 5: Change the Name of .ND and . TLG Files
.ND and .TLG are configuration files that let QuickBooks Desktop open the company file in multi-user mode. If these files get damaged or corrupted, it might trigger the Error Code 6007 in QuickBooks. This error will restrict you from opening the company file over a network. Changing the names of both files might help you to get rid of the damage.
Important: Do note that renaming the files will not result in data loss. It is because these files are recreated automatically when you open the company file or scan using QB Database Server Manager.

- The default Location: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files.
- Look for the files with the .ND and .TLG extensions. These files have the same name as the company file. For example:
- Company_file.qbw.tlg
- Company_file.qbw.nd,
- Right-click each of the files and click Rename.
- After the file extension, add the .OLD and hit Enter. For example:
- Company_file.qbw.nd.OLD
- Company_file.qbw.tlg.OLD
- Lastly, launch QB Desktop and try to re-open the company file to see if the issue is fixed.
Solution 6: Move the QuickBooks File to the Desktop
Instead of the QB company file, if the original location is damaged, it might be the reason you might have come across the QuickBooks Error Message 6007. To find it out, move the company file to a new location. The following are the steps to copy the company file to the desktop:
- Go to the QuickBooks installation location and open the folder that contains the company file.
- Search for the file with the .QBW extension and then right-click it.
- When a drop-down menu appears, choose the option to Copy.
- Move to the Desktop and right-click on an empty space.
- From the drop-down, choose the option to Paste.
- To launch the No Company Open window, hold the Control key and open the QuickBooks Desktop program.
- Choose the Open or restore an existing company option, move to the desktop, and finally select the company file to open it.

- Launch the QB Desktop program and move to the Help tab.
- Select the Utilities option and choose Switch the Single-User Mode option.
Solution 8: Use the Clean Install Tool
Rather than re-installing, perform a QuickBooks Desktop clean install to fix installation issues. A clean install differs from a basic reinstall as you will be using a new installation file for the QuickBooks application instead of the existing one. Before you use this tool, uninstall the QuickBooks program from the system and then follow these steps:
- To run the Clean Install Tool, open the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
- Under the Installation Issues tab, click the option to Clean Install.
