How to open QB2012 file?
An often recurring problem with QuickBooks 2012 Format is that QB2012 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open QB2012, 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 QB2012 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.

Programs to open QB2012 file
Remember to download programs supporting QB2012 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with QB2012 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QB2012 file still does not use the QuickBooks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the QB2012 file with the QuickBooks program.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickBooks with QuickBooks 2012 Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 QB2012 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to QB2012 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QB2012 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected QB2012 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QB2012 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QB2012 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QB2012 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QB2012 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the QB2012 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QB2012 file again. However, some background programs may block the QB2012 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
