QBW tried to read an invalid split line for a transaction or a memorized transaction. The data file may or may not be damaged. It may just be QBW has a bug which causes it to look for an invalid split line
QBW is having a problem reading part of the target split. This error will sometimes also occur when trying to look at a transaction history because the transaction it is linking to is gone or damaged. This is a non-fatal error and you should be able to continue working in the file.
Memorize, delete and re-enter the problem transaction. Verify file - rebuild if necessary. Check for any link damage - open invoice, unpaid bills, undeposited funds, cbbs. Review KB for some examples known problem and further troublshooting

Unable to delete link
QBW is unable to delete a record which links two transactions from the data file
Problem deleting a link attached to the transaction
Verify data and rebuild the file if verify fails. Attempt to delete transaction again. If message persists when deleting transaction check QBWIN.LOG. If verify is clean and still unable to delete the transaction restore from a backup or contact ICU for further options
C=265
Unable to delete sibling link.
Each link has two records in our data file. This error means that while deleting a link, we couldn't find the related link.
QBW did not find the second half of a link pair it was trying to delete. It is usually because there is either a transaction that is damaged or the linke is gone.
Memorize and delete the problem transactions. When you are looking for link damage - this is a good error to find because you have found the source of the reports not matching. After various link reports are clean verify might still fail with "orphan" links - there will not be any transaction information - a rebuild should clean these up.
