How can I identify and repair a corrupted company file in QuickBooks?

[tahiwo3]

Hi all,

I suspect my QuickBooks company file is corrupted, but I’m not sure how to confirm it or fix it. What steps can I take to identify and repair a corrupted file? Any advice or tools you recommend would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

To identify and repair a corrupted company file in QuickBooks, use the Verify Data utility to detect issues, and then use the Rebuild Data tool to fix the file. Go to "File" > "Utilities" > "Verify Data," and if corruption is found, select "Rebuild Data." This will automatically repair minor issues within the company file. Backup your data beforehand for safety.
