Step 2. Create association of Quicken with QBD files

The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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.

Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QBD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The QBD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QBD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QBD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QBD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QBD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QBD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intuit Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QBD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QBD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QBD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QBD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
