I have been using my Quickbooks Pro 2016 Desktop for years with no problems but I opened it the other day to access my check register and it does not give me an option to select the register for my account. When I select "Use Register" in the "Edit" menu, "Select Account", the only account that comes up is "Accounts receivable" and not my "Personal Checking" which is the check register I am wanting to make entries in. Can someone please help?? I've tried everything!!!

Once you confirm that your accounts are complete in the COA and you're still unable to select the Personal Checking account, I suggest running the verify tool to check your company data.
Begin by closing all windows by heading to the Window menu and selecting Close All. Then, follow these steps:
If you see the message "Your data has lost integrity," you'll need to rebuild your data to fix the data damage that was found in the file.
