We have had a few people ask how to find their QB company file recently. Here are some simple steps to find that elusive company file:

1. Click “Start,” “Control Panel” and “Appearance and Personalization.” Click “Folder Options” and then click the “View” tab. Click “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” under the Advanced settings heading. Click “OK” to view hidden files on your computer.

2. Click “Start,” “Computer” and double-click the “C:\” icon. Double-click the “Users” folder. Double-click “Public” and then “Documents.”

3. Double-click the “Intuit” folder and then the “QuickBooks” folder. Double-click the “Company Files” folder. Locate the file containing the “.qbw” extension – only one file exists with this extension.

4. Right-click the “.qbw” file and select the option you want from the sub-menu, if desired. Or write down the directory path on a piece of paper for future reference.

5. Repeat Step 1, but click “Don’t show hidden files, folders, and drives” under the Advanced settings heading. Click “OK” to accept the changes.

Thank you for your patience while our staff in Sugar Land dealt with the effects of Hurricane Harvey. Our office remained dry, and of course the servers in Dallas, were well out of harms way.

The aftermath of Harvey is blatant in many areas in and around Houston. Everyone knows someone or has a family member that was directly impacted by the torrential downpours or tornadoes. People have started tearing out sheet-rock and attempting to rebuild. Our owner, Jon Klubnik helped a community police officer, who recently had a baby, with demolishing and clearing out the parts of his house that were affected. Many hearts are broken, but everyone is trying to put their best foot forward.

Now Irma is hurtling towards Florida and Puerto Rico. Our thoughts are with everyone in the area, and we will help in any way we can, just as many Floridians came to the rescue of Houston.

A huge thank you to all of our clients that checked in on us, donated to Hurricane Relief, and kept us in their prayers, you made a horrible situation that much better. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, from everyone at Tandem CloudTop.
