Downloading Quickbooks desktop 2020

Let me help sort this out, @Andrea20A.

The error prompt you've received generally occurs while opening or modifying the QuickBooks company file. 

Here are the possible reasons for this error: 

• The company file is stored in a protected location such as the root of C:\\ drive of Program Files
• The file is saved in a restricted location and the current user does not have appropriate permissions to access the folder.
• The folder where the company file is located is damaged.
• QuickBooks company file is damaged or corrupted.
• The path of the folder where the company file is saved is very long and QuickBooks can’t reach out to the folder. 

To get rid of this error, let's run the QuickBooks File Doctor.  Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the QuickBooks Tools Hub file. 
3. Open the file you downloaded QuickBooksToolsHub.exe.
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tools hub.

Once downloaded, let's run the QuickBooks File Doctor.

1. From the tools hub, go to the Company File Issues tab.
2. Choose Run QuickBooks File Doctor. 
3. In QuickBooks File Doctor, select your company file from the drop-down menu. If you don’t see your file, select Browse and search to find your file.
4. Select Check your file (middle option only).
5. Click Continue.
6. Enter your QuickBooks admin password and then select Next.

I missed some points. Did you have problem when installing QuickBooks 2020, or running/opening your data file on the installed QuickBooks 2020?
