How do I Find out where my QuickBooks File is saved?

Are you trying for long to figure out where QuickBooks has saved your company data file and information?


It is always a good idea to know the location of your QuickBooks data files. The main reason behind it is that it is important to know that the file is being backed up every day (and it should be!). Moreover, while you are troubleshooting your QuickBooks, knowing the location can save a lot of your time.


There are two simple ways by which you can find out where your QuickBooks information is located:


· While working in your QuickBooks company file, click File and then open the Previous Company (in the menu bar). Once you reach the menu bar, you will be able to see where your data file is saved. You'll notice something like c:\Program Files\Intuit\etc. This is called the "path", so if you were trying to find this via the My Computer icon, you would just follow the "path" to get to it (i.e. click the C: drive icon, then click the Program Files icon, etc.)

You must know that if you work on multiple QuickBooks company files, you'll see four of the files listed when you use this method to find your file.


· Click on the F2 key (or use CTRL + 1). A screen will pop up that will display a lot of information about your QuickBooks data file including a box that shows the location of your file.


If you face any problem while searching the file location of QuickBooks or is unable to detect the location, you need to call on the QuickBooks customer service phone number and know the location immediately.
