How can I access Quicken document is it a Mac or Quicken problem?

...quicken2017 could not be opened An unexpected error occurred while opening the document.

Has anything changed on your Mac since the last time you opened Quicken? OS update? Quicken update? 

If you haven't, restart your Mac; sounds silly, but it sometime cures odd problems.

If that doesn't work, are you sure you're trying to open your most recent Quicken data file? And if so, can you restore a recent backup and try to open that?

The idea hit as soon as I posted the question and it worked Thanks for your answer which confirms I found a workable solution.

@mtargets  Let's start from scratch here so we don't make incorrect assumptions that send us down the wrong road. (The original question above was about Quicken Mac 2017.)

You're using Quicken Mac? Which version?
Have you been using it previously, or are you new to Quicken Mac?
Are you converting from an older version of Quicken?
What version of macOS are you running?

Now, describe what you're trying to do and exactly what happens.
