QB Startup Error Message

Aug 04, 2006 5 Replies

When I start QB and choose the file I want to open I receive the following message:



"Runtime error! Program: C:/Program Files/Intuit/QuickBooks 2005/qbw32.exe abnormal program termination"



I thought I could repair the installation but QB wants to install Flash



7 and that errors out because I have Flash 9 installed which is required by other software I am using. Thank you for your assistance.

Is the file you are tying to open on a different hosted computer by any chance? If so, you might want to make sure the shared folder is mapped as a drive on the client. I was getting that error when first setting up as a host/2 client setup.

I had a similar problem with lovely Quickbooks a while back. Quickbooks keeps trying to open your company file and there is something wrong with it so it crashes. You can't get QB opened to do a rebuild so you are stuck.

There is a hotkey - CTRL 1, CTRL F1, esc or something that you can do when starting quickbooks so it won't try and open up the file it last opened.

Once you can get QB opened you can do a rebuild on your file and you should be set.

Install QB on the other computer, upgrade it to same version as your file, and then the only file you need to move is ".qbw"
