Solution 1- Give admin rights to QuickBooks to tackle the Windows Firewall restrictions

A significant reason for QuickBooks failing to open a company file is the restrictions imposed by the Windows firewall or limitations of the regular Windows account. QuickBooks might face problems acquiring the system resources required to execute the company file task or cannot access the system drive folders due to non-admin permissions. You must also check that you are opening a .qbw file because this error can emerge if you try opening a portable or backup file using the same procedure as the company file. An easy way to tackle all the software limitations is by allotting admin rights to the software, granting it access to all the system files and resources. Use these steps-

• Go to the QB folder and right-click the icon you use to open the software (QuickBooks.exe).
• Right-click the launch icon and select Properties in the list.
• Navigate to the Compatibility tab in the window and single-click the Run this program as Administrator to mark it.
• Tap Apply and open the QB company file again after closing the properties window.

If the data file error stops you from accessing the file again, move to the next solution.
