3.) The company file took damage from data corruption in the HDD or a virus attack on your system.

Solutions

You need to remove the error as quickly as possible to make the company file accessible to all the workstations. Here are the methods that’ll help you tackle the company file error from your QBDT-

Solution 1- Transfer your company file to a different location and try opening it from there

QuickBooks can develop this error if the company file location is inaccessible to the software. This might happen if you use a non-admin account that does not have folder permissions to access the file’s location or if the file path is broken due to a missing folder. You must move the company file to a different location on your system and try opening it from there. Use the steps mentioned below-

1.) Open the File Explorer (Windows+E) on your computer and go to the location of your company file in the C: drive.

2.) Right-click on the company file and click the Copy option.

3.)Create a new folder on your desktop and right-click on the empty space inside it.

4.) Tap Paste in the option and wait until the file is completely moved.

5.) Open your QuickBooks and click the File menu.

6.) Select Open or restore company and specify the new location of the company file.

7.) Tap Open to run the company file.

If the error code appears again and you fail to open the data file, move to the next solution.
