QuickBooks Error 80070057 occurs when trying to open a company file, often due to permission issues, incorrect file extensions, or damaged company files. It typically indicates that the file was opened using an incorrect method or that the user lacks the required permissions to access the file.
To resolve this error, ensure the company file is opened directly from within QuickBooks rather than through a shortcut or external folder. Verify that you have the correct permissions to access the file and that the .QBW file extension is being used. Running the QuickBooks File Doctor tool can help repair file damage, and updating QuickBooks to the latest version may also fix compatibility issues. If the error persists, moving the company file to a local drive or reconfiguring firewall settings may be necessary
