Not all companies showing

Showing all your company files in QuickBooks Desktop is easy peasy, @coppens1.

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) has the ability to display up to 20 companies on your list. You'll just have to set the number of previous companies to show all your eight (8) companies.

Here's how:

1. Open your QBDT account.
2. Go to the File menu, then select Open Previous Company and choose Set number of previous companies.
3. In the How many do you want to list field, enter eight (8) or the number of desired companies you want to show on the list.
4. Click on OK to apply the changes.

Just in case your previously opened companies aren't showing after setting up the number, you can check out this article to learn how to resolve it: Company file is missing or cannot be found.

Please feel free to keep in touch with me here on your progress with this. I want to make sure you're taken care of. Have a great day ahead.

Greetings, @coppens1.

I'm back to check if you were able to display your eight (8) companies on your QuickBooks Desktop file after setting up the number of previous companies. If you need more clarification on this process, just let me know. I'll be sure to get back to you.
