Hi @mandypanad,

 

I'll share some steps you can take to resolve this issue where you're unable to open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version.
  2. Ensure the extension of the file you want to open is QBW.

See this article to proceed with the troubleshooting: What to do if you can't open your company file in QuickBooks Desktop. Scroll down to the Step 3: Figure out what's causing the issue section to continue.

 

I suggest you see this article: Fix locked file errors in QuickBooks Desktop. It's a list of steps you can take if your company file is locked.

 

Post a reply if you need further assistance, and I'll be sure to get back to you.
