Renaming them forces QuickBooks to recreate them, often resolving the error. •Navigate to the folder with your company file. •Find the files with the same name as your .QBW but with extensions .ND and .TLG. •Rename both by adding .old at the end (e.g., CompanyFile.qbw.nd.old). •Open QuickBooks again and try accessing the file. 3. Move Company File to a Different Location •Copy the company file to a new folder or directly to the desktop. •Open QuickBooks and browse to the new location. •This bypasses any permission or path issues associated with the previous folder. 4.
