Which QB Desktop year version did you use?
I'm here to share information that could help you.
Opening a .QBW file without QuickBooks Desktop is not possible because .QBW files are proprietary files created and used exclusively by QuickBooks Desktop software. QuickBooks Desktop is required to access and work with. QBW files.
The .QBW file is the main company file that contains all the financial data and information for a QuickBooks company. However, if you need to view or extract specific information from a .QBW file without having QuickBooks Desktop, you may consider using a QuickBooks Desktop Trial Version. Intuit offers a free trial version of QuickBooks Desktop. You can download and install the trial version to access the .QBW file temporarily. See this link for the detailed steps: Download a trial
Please note that accessing QuickBooks company data outside of the QuickBooks software may have limitations, and it's always advisable to use the official QuickBooks applications for the most accurate and secure handling of financial data.

I am trying to back up my files to a flash drive for my accountant
2023
Welcome to the Community, @df49!
I'd gladly guide you on backing up your company files to a flash drive.
If you're using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can follow these steps to back up your files manually:
QB generates a single backup company file and displays a confirmation message upon completion. Additionally, you can back up your data automatically. For more detailed information, refer to this article's "Schedule automatic backups" section: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
However, if you're using QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can refer to this article for steps to export your files: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online. Then, you can transfer the exported files from your computer to your flash drive.
In case you want to import your QBDT file to QBO, you can check out this article for guidance: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.
You can always get back to this thread if you have any follow-up concerns with backing up your files to a flash drive. The Community is always ready to lend a helping hand. Stay safe!
