How to open LAYOUTDESIGNER file?

The main problem with QuickBooks Layout Designer Template is that the LAYOUTDESIGNER file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LAYOUTDESIGNER, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LAYOUTDESIGNER file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install QuickBooks

In this case, you should first verify that the QuickBooks application is installed on the computer.

Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with LAYOUTDESIGNER files

If, despite the installed application, the LAYOUTDESIGNER file does not start in the QuickBooks application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickBooks application as the default for handling the LAYOUTDESIGNER file.

Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the QuickBooks program, it is possible that QuickBooks Layout Designer Template requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAYOUTDESIGNER file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LAYOUTDESIGNER file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LAYOUTDESIGNER or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LAYOUTDESIGNER files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LAYOUTDESIGNER files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LAYOUTDESIGNER files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LAYOUTDESIGNER except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LAYOUTDESIGNER file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LAYOUTDESIGNER file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LAYOUTDESIGNER file again. However, some background programs may block the LAYOUTDESIGNER file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
