Hi there, jnickell1013. I understand how frustrating it can be when you are unable to access your company file on QuickBooks Desktop. Let me share some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
First off, we need to ensure that QuickBooks Desktop is updated to its latest release. This process fixes minor bugs and program issues that might have prevented you from opening the company file.
Once done, open the company file to see if you're able to do it successfully.
If you still can't open it, you can suppress the QuickBooks application by following these steps:
- Press and hold the Ctrl key, then double-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon.
- Don't release the Ctrl key until you see the No Company Open window, QuickBooks freezes or gives you an error.
- Select a company file, then choose Open.
Just in case the issue persists, you can repair your QuickBooks Desktop software.
Here's how:
- Run a repair to replace all damaged installation files.
- Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.
