Hi @sayowa8582 

If you encounter the message "QuickBooks is unable to open this company file," it may indicate issues like file corruption, incompatible versions, or permission restrictions. First, ensure you’re using the correct version of QuickBooks compatible with your file. Check if the file is located on a network drive; if so, try copying it to your local drive. You may also need to verify your permissions to access the file. Additionally, using the QuickBooks File Doctor tool can help identify and resolve any underlying issues. If problems persist, consider restoring from a backup.
