Help--ERROR message saying "qdf file is from a later version"

mnmom3

Help!

I use Quicken almost daily (but haven't for 3 days), and when I went to open the desktop application got an error message, as noted above.

I restarted the computer, and the same thing appeared.

I'm trying to call Quicken but not getting an answer. I looked online for outages or issues, and I don't see that anyone else has reported this.

Anyone else having this issue?

How are you starting Q? When you right-click on the icon, what happens?

If a menu with a "Properties" option opens, what shows when you click that?

Because, from your description, this sounds like something specific to your Q, and not a general issue.

Thank you…

Quicken opens (on my machine) long enough for me to enter my password before giving me the message.

It very easily could be my own Q, but I was hoping I wasn't the only one. I've never had this problem (in 30 years of using Quicken…) It updates itself regularly, so this is confusing for me!

quicken error cannot open file version later qdf 5-13-26.jpg

This is what I see. Under "file" it only lets me see the last few files. It WILL let me open an OLD file, just not a current file or current backup.

It sounds like corrupted data file.

Hadn't quite gotten there yet … but agree.

In which case, @mnmom3, your best option is to open the most recent file that WILL open, and then try to select your current, problematic, file for a Validation.

Where is your file stored? On a harddrive in your PC, or on any sort of networked device?

I was thinking that it's likely a corrupted data file, too.

But perhaps there is something with the Quicken installation itself that is corrupted? If the file Validation does not fix the issue then maybe you might want to try uninstalling Quicken and then download and install a fresh installation file from Quicken.com.
