Step 1. Install Quicken

Programs to open QMT file
Remember to download programs supporting QMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quicken with QMT files
If, despite the installed application, the QMT file does not start in the Quicken application, you must create a file association. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the QMT file with the Quicken program.
Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version
If, however, after binding Quicken with Quicken Memory List there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Intuit Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QMT 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:
The QMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the QMT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QMT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QMT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QMT 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QMT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QMT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QMT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
