Scanner error - can't complete your request because the specified file could not be found

I am running version R55.15 on Windows. Since the most recent update I am unable to attach receipts to transactions. After scanning, I either get an error message "…cannot find specified date…" OR I can scan the image, but the application freezes and I have to force close/end task without saving.

    Hello @Sondra S,

    To start with, I suggest that you please try validating and/or super validating your data file. However, I do recommend that you first save a backup file prior to performing these steps.

    Validate: 

    1. File
    2. Validate and Repair File...
    3. Validate File
    4. Click OK
    5. Close the Data Log
    6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
    7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

    If the issue persists, proceed to Super Validate. If the issue is resolved after performing validation, then please disregard the instructions to Super Validate.

    Super Validate:

    1. File
    2. Hold CTRL + Shift and click Validate and Repair File...
    3. Super Validate File
    4. Click OK
    5. Close the Data Log
    6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
    7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Thank you for your reply,

    Since Validate/Super Validate did not correct the issue, the next step is to restore a backup from before the issue started and verify that the issue is resolved in that newly restored file.

    I hope this helps!
