Programs to open QBZ file
Remember to download programs supporting QBZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quick Trial Balance with QBZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QBZ file still does not use the Quick Trial Balance 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 QBZ file with the Quick Trial Balance application.
Step 3. Update Quick Trial Balance to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Quick Trial Balance program with the Quick Trial Balance 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 Pro-Ware, LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QBZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QBZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QBZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected QBZ 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 QBZ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QBZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file QBZ 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.
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. Copying the QBZ 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 QBZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QBZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
