The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QB2010 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 2. Create association of QuickBooks with QB2010 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QB2010 file still does not use the QuickBooks program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QB2010 file with the QuickBooks application.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickBooks program with the QuickBooks 2010 Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Intuit Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QB2010 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the QB2010 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QB2010 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected QB2010 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QB2010 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QB2010 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QB2010 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the QB2010 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the QB2010 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QB2010 to close. However, some background programs may block the QB2010 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
