How to open QDI file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QDI 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.

Programs to open QDI file
Remember to download programs supporting QDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quicken with QDI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QDI file to open in the Quicken application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the QDI file with the Quicken program.
Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Quicken program with the Quicken Dictionary Data 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 QDI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to QDI 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QDI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QDI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QDI file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QDI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QDI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move QDI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
