Question

Need Permission from System Admin - can't access bank registers - can't reconile bank accounts....

I have many bank accounts in my QuickBooks Enterprise system. I have used this system since 2011 and love it.  Several years ago I began to have problems if I added a new bank account.  I could add the new bank account but the register would not open and the reconcile would not open.  I get a Warning that says:
"Before you can access this account, QB needs to verify that you have the correct permissions.  You need to log out and then log in with the user name and password assigned by your System Administrator."  Keep in mind the old bank accounts still function that would created before this problem began.   Also, if I create a new company and add a bank account it works fine.  So, this problem is only occurring in this one company file which is many years old. I am the only user and it is not password protected. I am a small boutique operation so I have found ways around to manage these small added bank accounts.  I need to get this error fixed. 

When the problem first occurred about 5 years or more ago I attempted to get help from Intuit to no avail.

I desire to find the solution to this problem. 

Here is some more background information:

*  If I setup a new Company and add bank accounts the problem does not exist;
*  When I do a Backup I get a warning that a data problem prevents QB from continuing.  The Solution is to Rebuild the data now but any errors in the data file will not be fixed.  I do the Rebuild and save a backup.;
*  I accessed the QBWin.log.  I can see the long list of the new bank accounts added the past years that do not permit access to the register or reconcile.  Each one is listed as follows:
"prefuser.c (24512):  CHECKPOINT: 1780: Sat Oct 22 21:50:27 Permissions:  "Bank Registers: Citizens Checking Account" does not have an associated entitlement.
Then after all the impacted bank accounts are noted the following line exists:
"PermissionsManager.cpp (4049):  CHECKPOINT: 1780: Sat Oct 22 21:50:27 Permissions:  "Bank Registers" does not have an associated entitlement."
*  I am the only user of this qb system.
*  I know the version is old (v12.0) but this system is fine for my operation.
*  my other challenge to the above is I am on Windows Operating System 8.1 which will no longer be serviced come January 2023.  So, I am trying to figure out how to continue using my beloved QB Enterprise 12.0 desktop version on a new computer that would have Windows Operating System 11.  Advise on this issue also appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help to the above.

Hello, Lana. 

 

Having a reliable program is very important (even if it's old), especially if you're doing business. So, I'd like to extend a helping hand in fixing the bank account register and reconciliation pages. 

 

I appreciate the details you provided, and it's a good thing that you've already narrowed down the issue by using the log details. 

 

There might be a damaged component within the company file that's preventing you from accessing the reconciliation or the register page. In this case, we can run the Tool Hub and use the Company File utility to fix this. 

 

  1. Download the latest Tool Hub version here: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub
  2. Run the installer and proceed with the installation process.
  3. After installing, run the Tool Hub.
  4. On the list of utilities, select Company File Issues
  5. Follow the prompts to start the repair process. 

 

I'll also note that the Tool Hub is intended for supported versions. We can run it on unsupported QuickBooks versions, but it may not detect the issues properly (due to lack of supportability and updates). 

 

Another solution we can do is to clean install QuickBooks Desktop. A complete guide can be found here: Re-install QuickBooks Desktop

 

I'd also like to add some details about the requirements. QuickBooks Desktop 2012 or V12 might not work properly if it's installed on Windows 11.

 

The system will let you install it, but it might cause compatibility issues. If you're interested, consider upgrading to the recent version that runs on Windows 11. 

 

After fixing the issue, and reconciling your accounts, do you need to check on your current financial data? I'll share this article to help you with the reports you can run in QuickBooks: Understand reports

 

You're more than welcome to visit here again if you have questions regarding your bank accounts or the reconciliation process. If you'd like to take care of other things like managing your entries, let me know and I'll work with you on this.

Thank you for your quick reply.  It is greatly appreciated.
I will try your suggestions for my bank permissions issues and let you know the results.
My current QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 12.0 is a fabulous system. I love it. It is perfect for my small boutique operation.  I do not interface it with the internet.  Yes, I can upgrade to a current version and import my old data but I do not wish to pay another large sum of money for the upgrade version.  I wish to continue to find a way to keep using it without incurring more expense for a new system.  One thought I had is to keep my current computer with window 8.1 and use my v12.0 QB Enterprise on this old computer -- do not use it to interface with the internet.  Buy a new computer for everything else. Or perhaps Enterprise 12.0 will work on windows 10 and I could find a new computer with windows 10? Anyway, back to my damaged file --- I will get busy on your suggestions and keep you posted.  Thanks so much.  Lana
