Understanding QWB Issues

Troubles Opening QWB Files

Microsoft Money Isn't There

Double-clicking your QWB file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open QWB File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Money for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your QWB with Microsoft Money, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: Another QWB-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Microsoft Money is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Money installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Money Data type. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Money from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Your Microsoft Money Data file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Money than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your QWB file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening QWB files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Money installed.

Other QWB File Issues

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Money installed, you can still experience difficulties opening QWBs. If you are still having problems opening QWB files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Windows Registry QWB file paths that are incorrect
• The QWB file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Microsoft Money or another QWB application experienced a flawed installation
• Your QWB file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Money Data file itself)
• Your QWB has adversely impacted by malware
• Drivers associated with QWB software need to be updated
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Microsoft Money Data format
