We can't get this to work (no updates involved). In QuickBooks Desktop statement writer, we can create a new Statement Writer .QSW file, save it, and close it, and that works fine, but when we turn around and try to open the same file that we just created it won't open with this error. We are using the default path, not a network path, QuickBooks Desktop Accountant's Edition 2018, and Excel 2016.

QuickBooks statement writer warning: An unrecognized file was selected. Only ISW 2009 files can be imported. Please select an ISW 2009 file and try again.
