How to open QFP file?
An often recurring problem with Quicken Financial Planner Add-on is that QFP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open QFP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QFP 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 Quicken
In this case, you should first verify that the Quicken application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Quicken into the system search engine.

Programs to open QFP file
Remember to download programs supporting QFP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quicken with QFP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QFP file still does not use the Quicken 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Quicken application as the default for handling the QFP file.
Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Quicken program with the Quicken Financial Planner Add-on file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Intuit Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QFP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The QFP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the QFP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QFP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QFP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QFP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QFP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QFP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the QFP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 QFP file again. However, some background programs may block the QFP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
