According to Intuit, Error Code -6150, -1006: “An error occurred when QuickBooks tried to create, open, or use the company file” is an error that has multiple possible causes.  The possible causes include:

  • your company file (.qbw) is damaged and you were attempting to backup or create a portable file (.qbm)
  • your QuickBooks installation is damaged
  • you were attempting to open a portable file (.qbm) but QuickBooks wasn’t open
  • the QuickBooks company file extension was changed or is the wrong type
  • you were attempting to restore a QuickBooks for Macintosh backup file in QuickBooks for Windows

Here’s a screenshot of the actual error:
