Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @marcia1.

 

This error appears if the file is read incorrectly on a Windows computer.

 

I have just the steps for you to fix this issue.

 

Step 1: Close the program and restart your computer. Then, right-click QuickBooks Desktop icon and select Run as the Administrator.

Step 2: Make sure to download the latest product updates to ensure you have the most recent update of QuickBooks.

 

If the error still appears, you can try to toggle the User Control settings depending on your Windows version. You can go through this article for the detailed steps: Resolve the file you specified cannot be opened errors.

 

You can now get rid of the error message. Please keep me posted if there's anything I can help you with your QuickBooks. I'm always around here in the Intuit Community whenever you need further assistance.
