Process of Repairing QuickBooks file that won't open
-
- Make sure that the QuickBooks you are using is well up to date with the newest version.
- Check if you can open the file straight from QuickBooks: You can do this from File > Open or restore company.
- Make sure that other QuickBooks apps are not running alongside QuickBooks. You can do this by holding down the ALT tag and opening QuickBooks.
- Try to open a sample company: Do this if your company file doesn’t open. This way you will figure out that if there is a problem with QuickBooks or the file itself.
- You can open a sample company by clicking:
- No Company Open window >> Opening sample file.
- If it won’t open then click the “Troubleshooting the Quickbooks Installation” section.
- Try moving the file to a new path: Do this if you think that the QuickBooks file path is an issue and is discouraging the file from opening.
- Check if the QuickBooks company file properties are in order: Check if the file is not corrupted.
- Try renaming your company file: If all the properties are well and good then try renaming the company file. Sometimes it is seen that only by renaming the file you are able to troubleshoot errors.
