How to resolve QuickBooks Cannot open your company file issue after recent update?

[BrianHayden754]

I'm unable to open my company file in QuickBooks. It keeps giving me an error message saying it cannot open the file. How can I resolve this issue and regain access to my data?

Hi @BrianHayden754 

If QuickBooks cannot open your company file, ensure that the file is not in use by another user or open on another computer. Verify the file path is correct and update QuickBooks to the latest version. Use the QuickBooks File Doctor tool to diagnose and repair the file.
