Common Problems Opening QFX Files

Missing Intuit Quicken

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open QFX Files" when trying to open your QFX. Usually, this is because you do not have Intuit Quicken for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your QFX because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your QFX file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Intuit Quicken Requires Update

Your Quicken Financial Exchange File file is incompatible with Intuit Quicken because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Intuit Quicken installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of QFX file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Primarily, problems experienced when opening QFX files are due to having the incorrect version of Intuit Quicken installed on your computer.


More Causes of Problems Opening QFXs
