We are constantly getting QuickBooks unexpected Error 5 while accessing the company file? Why unexpected Error 5 occurs?

We have this issue with all the users in our QuickBooks group. Our IT person granted full control to the company file and configured QuickBooks to run in administrative mode. The Error 5 in QuickBooks still exists and we are not able to figure out the causes. Is there any other solution to unexpected Error 5 in QuickBooks, a troubleshooting checklist would really be helpful? Thanks, and looking forward for an early comeback.
