How to open QBJ file?
An often recurring problem with QuickBooks Data Format is that QBJ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that QBJ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QBJ 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickBooks program installed. This can be achieved by typing QuickBooks into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file QBJ with QuickBooks. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open QBJ files.
Programs to open QBJ file
Remember to download programs supporting QBJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with QBJ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QBJ file to open in the QuickBooks application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the QuickBooks application as the default for handling the QBJ file.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickBooks program with the QuickBooks Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intuit Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QBJ 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QBJ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QBJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected QBJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of QBJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QBJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QBJ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move QBJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the QBJ 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 QBJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QBJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
