Let's get this working for you, JAC126.

 

The message you're getting occurs when the file is read incorrectly on a Windows computer. To fix this, you'll need to update the QuickBooks Desktop software and you can only do that by logging in as the admin of the account.

 

Here's how:

  1. Close all the programs then restart your computer.
  2. Right-click QuickBooks Desktop icon.
  3. Select Run as the Administrator.

Once done, you can manually update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release:

  1. Go to the Help menu.
  2. Select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  3. Click the Options tab.
  4. Select Mark All and then click Save.
