How to open UTL file?
An often recurring problem with QuickBooks Data is that UTL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file UTL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UTL 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
In this case, you should first verify that the QuickBooks application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuickBooks in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file UTL.
Programs to open UTL file
Remember to download programs supporting UTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickBooks with UTL files
If, despite the installed application, the UTL file does not start in the QuickBooks application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UTL file with the QuickBooks program.
Step 3. Update QuickBooks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the QuickBooks program, it is possible that QuickBooks Data requires a newer version of the program. 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 UTL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UTL file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UTL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UTL file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UTL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file UTL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move UTL 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UTL to close. However, some background programs may block the UTL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
