How big is your QBW file size?

Called the Pro Advisor Hotline just now and spoke with Nancy. She was able to replicate the error, so she forwarded this to engineering. As an aside, I looked at some other QBM files on my computer. Not an issue with QB 2015, but is an issue with QB v 2019-22 on my system. Appreciate all of you out there in the community. Don't always get a solution on the first try, but there are a lot of helpful ideas. Glad I called support and found out that it's not an issue just for me.

Actually spoke with Intuit this AM and they were able to replicate the error. Ball is in their court.

Thank you for your question. I thought of that too, but data verification showed no issues.

Consider to open the sample file and create the QBM file to isolate the issue.

Been there done that. It's in Intuit's hands now.
