Be certain to keep the Alt key held down until the file completely opens, or an error message is displayed, regardless of the length of time it takes for QuickBooks to fully load the file. To do this, hold down the Alternate (Alt) key when you click Open.

Browse to the normal location of the Company file and select it however, before you click Open, we want to take steps to prevent reports and other windows (including transactions) from opening. Select the button to ‘Open or restore company file’ and select the option to Open a Company file. Step 4: The 4 th step is to attempt to open the file by browsing to it via the ‘No Company Open’ window. You can always ‘delete’ these copies if you don’t need them later (one copy is a true 'safety' copy, and the other will be used for 'testing purposes'.) At this point you want to make a Windows ‘copy’ of your CompanyFile.QBW and file and safely store them away in a directory called ‘Safety-1’ you create (I almost always suggest on the ‘desktop’.) Now I want you to repeat this process to create another copy in an additional directory called ‘Safety-2’ and copy the two files to that directory as well.

Step 3: The 3rd step is to use the Windows browse feature to locate the directory (folder) where your Company file is stored. (Note: Hosting should NEVER be turned on in more than one computer on your network.) So you may need to go through the same steps I outlined a moment ago regarding use of the Ctrl key to open QuickBooks without any Company file being opened, then proceed to shut-down hosting on any/every computer you find it running. What we are trying to accomplish here is ‘turn off’ the hosting function either on the computer you are using, or on any other computer on your network that is acting as the ‘host’. Step 2: From the ‘No Company Open’ screen, the 2 nd step is to select the Utilities sub-menu from the File Menu, if the option to ‘Stop Hosting Multi-user Access’ is available, you want to select it. Step 1: The 1st step that I recommend is that you return to the ‘No Company Open’ screen, if you have that sample file open, then select the option to close/log-off from the File Menu. A short time back I also wrote an article about QuickBooks not allowing you to log-in, because the QBW.tlg file or the database server thought that you were logged-in, so I won’t go into those things now, other than as the QBW.tlg file may relate to other problems. So let’s assume for purposes of this article that you have determined that the problem must be with your Company file. If QuickBooks does open, then try opening a ‘sample company’ file, and if the sample company opens then chances are the problem is with ‘your own Company file’. If the program still does not open while holding down the Ctrl key then you have a QuickBooks application issue, and not a ‘file issue’. One good way of doing this is to press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key while double clicking the actual QuickBooks application icon (not your QuickBooks file icon). Preliminary Step: The preliminary step is to always make certain that the problem is really with ‘your Company file’ and not QuickBooks itself.

You may experience various error messages including the -6000 series (there are several), or the H# series, C= errors (such as C=343 or C=422, although these are rare), various Unrecoverable Errors (I wrote an article about this last week) and many more. Other reasons include using the wrong version of QuickBooks, or issues with the location of the file such as access permissions, problems with the file name and file extension, or a conflicting *QBW.tlg file are additional reasons why you might not be able to open the file. Other common factors include problems with reports or transaction templates that were left open within the file the last time it was closed (especially if you have the preference selected to ‘save desktop upon exit’. It may have become damaged the last time it was in use, or it may have been damaged due to some form of corruption on your hard drive where the file is stored. A QuickBooks Company file may not open for a number of reasons.
