Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with QB2015 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QB2015 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QB2015 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QB2015 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the QB2015 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QB2015 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected QB2015 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 QB2015 files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QB2015 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QB2015 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the QB2015 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QB2015 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
