I can help you fix that, DavidG68.

 

There are times that you may receive an unrecoverable error while opening or working in your QuickBooks Desktop due to data damage. To isolate the issue, you can run the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This program is used to fix common file errors and repair data integrity issues.

 

Additionally, it's recommended to use this tool on Windows 10 (64-bit) for the best experience. When you're ready, here's how to run it:
 

  1. Close your QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Then, save it in your local storage.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install, then agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

Once done, you'll have to launch the Quick Fix my File function. I'll show you how:
 

  1. From the tool hub, select the Company File Issues tab.
  2. Select Quick Fix my File.
  3. Click OK when it completes.
  4. Open your QuickBooks Desktop.

If you still get an error message after performing the steps above, please follow the third step/solution in this guide to run the QuickBooks File Doctor.

 

Lastly, you can always check our articles here if you need some reference in completing your other tasks in the program.

 

I'm just a post away if you have any other concerns or additional questions. Stay safe and have a great rest of the day.
