Restore Quickbooks file
Hi,
I have a situation where a Quickbooks user downloaded transactions from the bank website and it altered multiple accounts this afternoon.
Fortunately I perform file backup during night and also mid-day. So I see QB files as of this morning.
How do I go about using QB files as of this morning?
Thanks.

@John,
I spoke to QB Tech support and they said that I could simply replace old/screwed up Checking.QBW file with older Checking.QBW file from the backup.
Then all I needed to do is to open Checking.QBW file. all other files .DSN, .ND, and .TL files were adjusted automatically.
All is good now.

Yes that is what I suggested earlier about restoring your file

For some reason, I did not understand what you tried to explain. It was confusing.
If what you were trying to say was to copy Checking.QBW file from the backup folder and replace current screwed-up Checking.QBW file, it did not come across that way to me.

That is certainly what I was trying to say as that is a normal backup restore process
I hope that clarifies for you

I clearly misunderstood. Can you copy your sentence that is related to "copying checking.qbw file from the backup and replace current checking.qbw file and open that file"?
From above:
if you <<regularly>> backup by closing QuickBooks and backing up the QBW file (so that is one way to back up and I was making an assumption about this)
copy it <<the backup file>> to a local machine and as per above, close any open databases and open the file locally.
If I confused you and you wish to accept your own comment, that is fine with me.

Thanks for your help.
Thank you so much. I could have been a bit clearer here and I will keep this in mind and be clearer in my posts in future
Either by Restoring the QBB file or opening the QBW file, you can determine the state of work required.
