Method 1: Use the QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery feature

The QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery feature is a built-in tool that can help recover lost or damaged data in your QuickBooks company file. It creates a duplicate copy of the QuickBooks company file and saves it in a separate folder. Here are the steps to use the Auto Data Recovery feature:

• Locate the folder where QuickBooks stores the Auto Data Recovery files. This folder is usually located in the same folder as your company file, with the suffix "AutoRecovery" added to the end of the file name.
• Look for the two files with the extensions .QBW.adr and .TLG.adr. These files are the Auto Data Recovery files.
• Copy both files and paste them into a new folder on your desktop or in another location on your computer.
• Rename the .QBW.adr file to .QBW and the .TLG.adr file to .TLG.

• Open QuickBooks and open the company file from the new folder you created.
• Verify that all of your data is intact and that the error has been resolved.

Note that the Auto Data Recovery feature is not always successful in recovering data, and it can take some time to complete the process. If the Auto Data Recovery feature is not able to recover your data, you may need to restore a backup copy of your company file.
