OK folks - I finally solved the issue. It may not be the best solution for everyone but here is what it took for me to fix the following problems:
Could not add to To Do List
Could not add or change contacts in either the Customer list or Vendor list.
Background: Running Win 10 Pro, QB Enterprise Desktop 2022 version. The files are stored on this machine with 1 additional user. Problem only occurs on this machine. SQL Server 2012 and 2014 was installed on this machine to run UPS Worldship.
Other machine has been okay all along. SQL Server was not installed on the other machine.
We determined that SQL was used only by Worldship. Installed basic cheap machine with Worldship - that is all it does.
I then uninstalled EVERY PROGRAM that had "SQL" in the title. Removed completely and removed the folders. The SQL was installed in both "Programs" and Programs(x86) directories. I removed it all - there is nothing on this machine with SQL in the name. IT WORKS FINE NOW!!!!
I suggest you research what programs are using SQL . Chances are good those programs are way less important than your Quickbooks. Move them to another computer and remove SQL from your QB machine
BUT you have to find every file on the machine as I did.
This finally worked for me and I hope this helps some of you with this problem since QB does not seem to have any interest in fixing this problem at all. If you can't use this solution I suggest you load the lates version of SQL Server and update all the programs that use it to use the latest version - then delete any hint of 2012 or 2014.
Good luck to all.
