My client's computer crashed causing a loss of his beautiful Estimates custom template. The laptop is somewhere being serviced so he hopefully can at minimum get his qbw file. Where are Templates located so he can tell the service company the location of files he needs? He uses QB desktop, not sure what year he was using on his crashed laptop. He is now using QB Pro desktop 2022.

Hello there, @raleighkim

 

I'm here to help you locate the list of custom estimate is stored in QuickBooks Desktop

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the List menu.
  2. Select Templates.
  3. Locate your estimate template.

 

To restore missing customized templates, check out this article: File Location.

 

For an additional guide, while modifying email templates when sending messages from QuickBooks, you can also open this link: Create custom email templates in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Keep in touch if you need any more assistance with this, or there's something else I can do for you. I've got your back. Have a good day.

but where on c:\ are template files located. I've searched for *.des files but cannot locate Quickbooks templates.

Thanks anyway.

You will find it easily in the folder when the QuickBooks program was installed. If you are using QBD 2021 or an older version, the default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit.old\QuickBooks [year]
