The Reason Behind the QuickBooks
Multi User Switching Error H202
Reason
QuickBooks Error H202 typically occurs when
QuickBooks Desktop is unable to communicate with
the company file located on another computer. Here
are five common reasons for QuickBooks error H202:
Network
Connection Issues:
One of the most common causes of error
H202 is network connectivity problems. This
could include issues such as a weak or
unstable network connection, firewall
settings blocking QuickBooks
communication, or incorrect network setup.
Incorrect Hosting
Configuration:
QuickBooks Desktop should be properly configured
for multi-user mode when accessing the company
file over a network. If the hosting settings are
incorrect or if multiple computers are trying to
host the same company file simultaneously, it can
lead to error H202.
DNS Issues:
Domain Name System (DNS) problems on either
the server or workstation can prevent QuickBooks
from resolving the IP address of the computer
hosting the company file. This can result in error
H202 when trying to access the file over the
network.
Blocked QuickBooks
Services:
Some antivirus or security software may block the
QuickBooks services necessary for multi-user
access, leading to error H202. It's important to
ensure that QuickBooks services are allowed
through any firewall or security software installed
on the server or workstation.
Damaged QuickBooks
Installation:
In some cases, the QuickBooks installation
itself may be damaged or corrupted, leading to
communication errors like H202. Reinstalling
QuickBooks or performing repair steps on the
existing installation may resolve this issue.
