My former boss here uses Quickbooks 2006 Contractor at his office. He has several computers used by the diff employees, and one computer that runs only to serve as the Quickbooks server.
Recently a new problem has arose. Someone will be working with customer data, be it invoices, saving, downloading, anything and the program will crash with a single error: "ABORT".
This happens on any of the pc's, no matter if everyone else is on them too, or just one person. It's random, theres no timeout, its completely unpredictable at this point. All of the pc's are connected via Cat5, and all the wires and hardware have passed testing. No other network reliant applications are suffering.
So i did some research and learned two things:
Quickbooks tech support is completely useless and the people on the forums for quickbooks are just as useless. There have been other cases like this, but they are all over the place.
There are no recent changes, at all. Not to QB, the network, the pc's, nothing. I'm running out of ideas shy of a complete and total uninstall and reinstall of QB's and i really really really do not want to get into that. Theres a ton of customer information and this business lives off quickbooks and if i hit the wrong button lord all mighty help me when his wife finds me.
So, ideas?
