Welcome to the forum dedicated to resolving QuickBooks Error 6129! This error typically occurs when you try to create a new company file or open an existing file in QuickBooks. Fortunately, we have gathered some potential solutions to help you overcome this issue. Please note that these solutions are general in nature, and it's always recommended to create a backup of your company files before making any changes.
Solution 1: Update QuickBooks
Ensure that you are using the latest version of QuickBooks. Outdated software may contain bugs and compatibility issues that can lead to QuickBooks Error 6129. Follow these steps to update QuickBooks:
Open QuickBooks and go to the Help menu.
Select "Update QuickBooks Desktop" from the drop-down menu.
Click on "Update Now" in the Update QuickBooks window.
Wait for the update to complete and then restart QuickBooks.
Solution 2: Rename the.TLG and . ND files
Renaming the transaction log (.TLG) and network descriptor (.ND) files can help resolve issues related to file corruption. Here's how to do it:
Close QuickBooks on all computers connected in a multi-user environment.
Navigate to the folder where your company file is saved.
Locate the files with the same name as your company file but with.TLG and .ND file extensions (e.g., company file.qbw.tlg and company file.qbw.nd).
Right-click on each file and choose "Rename."
Add ".OLD" to the end of the file name (e.g., company file.qbw.tlg.OLD and company file.qbw.nd.OLD).
Restart QuickBooks and try opening or creating the company file again.
Solution 3: Disable Hosting on All Computers Except the Server
If QuickBooks is being used in a multi-user environment, make sure hosting is enabled only on the server. To disable hosting on other computers:
Open QuickBooks on each computer except the server.
Go to the File menu and select "Utilities."
If you see the option "Stop Hosting Multi-User Access," select it.
If you see "Host Multi-User Access," do not select it.
Solution 4: Use the QuickBooks File Doctor
QuickBooks File Doctor is a built-in diagnostic tool that can fix many company file-related issues automatically. Follow these steps to use the tool:
Close QuickBooks on all computers.
Download and install the QuickBooks Tool Hub from the official Intuit website.

Click on "Run QuickBooks File Doctor" and select your company file from the drop-down list.
Click on "Check your file" and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once the tool completes the repair process, try opening or creating the company file again.
