Try making a copy of the company file to a local machine (copy, do not move).

Now try to open locally. If it opens, then QB, File, Utilities, Rebuild to fix the file. If all that work, restore the rebuilt file to the server. Keep the old backup as well until you know all is working.

already tried this but does not open on the local.
Thanks for update. Now you only have one option left.

Contact Intuit, ask for their repair service and send them the file for repair. This is a cost service unless they cannot repair it.

I have used this service and it works
You may be able to restore an older backup, but then you would have to re-enter lost transactions. The repair service is better.
The fact that others can open it, does this not a indicator that file is ok?

Will do so but just pointing out again that this same user on the same pc has no issue with all other qb file (about 50 files)
The steps I listed in order will help you get to a solution.

Rebuild is an inherently good idea at least quarterly for large files.

The other steps are just troubleshooting steps.
Basicly what I did file/verify data, and solve the issue.
Thank you for you help
You are very welcome and I was happy to help.
