Hello @Richard Valentine, 

I am sorry to hear about this issue with opening data files. Thank you for speaking with us about this here on the Quicken Community. 

I want to be clear on the situation; were you able to access the Quicken menu of the same data file that is displaying this error message? Also, have you tried restarting the computer when this message appears? It may help us if you can submit a screenshot of the error message - with personal information redacted as necessary - using the steps listed here. Note that you can also drag and drop images into your comment before it has been posted. 

I look forward to your response. 

Thank you,

Quicken Jared
