Following my colleague's response, @coppens1, yes, you can change your QuickBooks company file name to the new one (606 Martin Ave). I can guide you through the process.

 

First, make sure to create a backup copy of your company file. Then, take note of the file location where your company file is stored. Follow the steps below to complete the process:

 

  1. In QuickBooks, check the location of the company file.

    • While on the Home page, press F2 or Ctrl+1 to open the Product Information window.
    • Note the location listed in the File Information field.
       
  2. Go to the location specified.

    • Right-click the Windows Start button and select File Explorer.
       
  3. Right-click the file and select Rename. The file name may appear as [CompanyName].qbw or just [CompanyName].
  4. Change the file name and press Enter.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the action.
     

Afterward, you can set up QuickBooks Desktop to use the new company file name. Here's how:

 

  1. On your QuickBooks Desktop program, click the File menu.
  2. Select Open or restore an existing company.
  3. Click Open a company file, then hit Next.
  4. Select the newly renamed company file and click Open.
