I am a student working on assignments with "Learning Quickbooks Pro and Premier Accountant 2012. The message appears after I select a chapter to work on that had been downloaded originally from [removed]. I ask a computer tech, Donald, here at school that suggested I try the https://community.intuit.com/questions/997579-warning-the-file-you-specified-cannot-be-opened-make-sure-that-it-is-not-currently-being-used-by-another-program-or-a-read-only-file steps on other computers in the lab but got the same result. After emailing my teacher he suggested I come to your website for a solution. After restarting and changing computers for 3 plus hours, my patience is wearing thin. Is there something that I am doing wrong on my part? Or Is there something wrong with the school's computers? photo_2.JPG Comment Asked by drumlinechic06 QuickBooks Pro 2012, United States Options Edit Ask for details Archive hide info × Close Why do you want to report this?

Let's run QuickBooks as Administrator. Here's how:Right click on QuickBooks program icon on your desktop and choose “Run as Administrator“.Open the company file again and we'll see if it will open. Let me know the result after. thank you!☺ Was this answer helpful? Yes No IntuitNed Employee Add a comment Comment 2 additional answers No answers have been posted This post has been closed

I am a single user. http://support.swizznet.com/hc/en-us/articles/204925494--The-file-exists-error-when-printing-or-performing-other-functions When I have been trying to various things within QB lately (last was try to pay people than process payroll forms) I get a message that pops up that says "The file you specified the file cannot be opened. Make sure that it is not currently being used by another program or a read-only file. The Windows error was 'the file exists'." This has happened a few times when performing different tasks within QB. When this box pops up I have to hit 'ok' then it immediately pops up again. After 20-30 times hitting ok it goes away. Any idea on what is going the file you on and how I can fix it? Thank you. __________________ John Thompson NY John Thompson View Public Profile Find all posts by John Thompson #2 01-16-2012, 01:28 AM Joe Williams Registered User Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 9,328 Windows has multiple copies of QBW.EXE running. Use Task Manager and close ALL copies of QuickBooks and then start QuickBooks by right clicking the shortcut then choose Open. You may be getting some extra bounces from the keyboard to start extra copies of it. __________________ Joe Williams joewilliams@wavelinx.net Piedmont, Ok Joe Williams View Public Profile Find all posts by Joe Williams Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Show Printable Version Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Rate This Thread Excellent Good Average Bad Terrible Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts BB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is Off HTML code is On Forum Rules Forum Jump User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home Welcome and Info New
Support Ticket System & Knowledgebase - 1.888.794.9948 x 2 Swizznet Knowledge Base Solutions "The file exists" error when printing or performing other functions If you are receiving one or more pop-ups with an error message stating "The file exists", it is normally possible to click OK on them and the system will print or generate a PDF file successfully. However, clearing up the problem can save a lot of time. This particular error is normally caused by what we call "ghost" printers. These are printers that are installed on your computer, but are either not connected anymore, are jammed or out of paper, or that the computer is unable to communicate with for whatever reason. If you're on a Windows based computer, if you go to Start -> Devices and Printers, you'll want to look for any printers that you know to no longer be attached and right click on them to remove them. Also look for any printers that are showing an error (paper jam, out of paper) and correct the problem that they're reporting. If everything looks good but you continue to have the problem, sometimes if a printer that is connected to the computer is asleep it can cause this same error. If you send a print job to the printers attached to the computer, or if they are nearby and they have a "Go" button on them that you can press, this will wake them up. Ultimately, in some situations where a person is mobile and have printers at multiple locations that aren't always connected to the computer, it is necessary to install a 3rd party printing system called Tricerat Screwdrivers. If removing ghost printers doesn't resolve the problem, please contact us on the support line at 888-794-9948 x 2 and we'd be able to assist with removing any ghost printers or installing the Screwdrivers printing system.
