QuickBooks can share the company file only if DBSM runs in the background and

problems hosting the company file, as DBSM will not start in the background. You can
tackle the problem by recreating the Network Descriptor file and running the DBSM as
discussed below1. Open the QB folder on a file explorer and right-click the damaged Network
Descriptor file inside it.
2. Select the Rename option and add ‘.old’ at the end of the file name as an

4. Launch DBSM separately or use the QB tool hub and navigate to the Scan
Folders
