How you Can Fix the QuickBooks TypeError or the QBWC1085?
The purpose of the QuickBooks Web Connector is to share the log files between the third-party applications on the internet to the QuickBooks products on the desktop as we have explained above.
But, in case you have not at all connected the QuickBooks desktop product with your third-party application before using the QuickBooks Web Connector, then obviously, it wouldn’t work.
So, it’s better you remove the QB Web Connector from the start menu on your desktop taskbar which is located at the bottom of your screen, just in case.
Or, you can check the steps below to be clearer on the same.
- Log into your window device: PC/Laptop, as the administrator. [Do not log into any guest/student/secondary account]
- Head over to this path: C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
- When you see the QuickBooks Web Connector file/folder/or extension file. Press right-click and click delete.
- Now go back to ‘Start‘ menu, and restart your device.
- Open the QuickBooks Desktop product that you have installed.
Similarly, in case you have connected the third-party web service or application that has generated the data log file that you need to transfer to the QuickBooks desktop product, then obviously, you would need a QuickBooks Web Connector, so do not delete it!
Check it and if you have your QB Web connector installed, then most probably, it’s the TypeError, which we will explain how to solve below, otherwise, just in case, you have forgotten to install the QuickBooks Web Connector, you can always browse the official QuickBooks website online to see the procedure or contact the customer care to help you out before you begin the steps mentioned below.
Okay, we are assuming you are ready with your QuickBooks Web Connector.
Now, what you have to do is:
Understand that you need to rename the QWCBLOG.TXT file as a solution to the TypeError
Are you confused about doing so? Or not sure where to locate the file?
Here’s where you are likely to find it to replace its name:
- Close all the QuickBooks Desktop session along with ‘QuickBooks Web Connector‘. It shouldn’t be running in the background. [If you are unsure if they are properly closed or not, open the task manager and end the tasks for both the applications to be on the safe side]
- Head over to this path: ‘C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QBWebConnector\log‘.
- You will ‘QWCBLOG.TXT file‘ which you can right-click and rename it to ‘QWCLOGOLD.TXT‘.
After you are done renaming, open the QuickBooks Web Connector again.
