I am using Quickbooks Pro 2009 (don't laugh) on a standalone, no internet connected computer, no network. We run 7 companies on this program but we recently had a few abort issues with various files (most recent is C-343 and older ones are -6000, -301). I now have all 7 qbw files that I want to use as my MASTER to start updating the last 3 or so weeks of transactions (we just use the A/P and A/R). The files are working fine for me although when I upload the files to our accountant, they are unable to open them (seems like it times out??). In an effort to reduce the file size, I tried the "Condense or Clean up company data" on our largest files which is 311 000 KB (QB Pro 2009) but the "Clean up company data" function doesn't work. It shows the completed progress bar and then it "verifies the data" and then aborts and notes the C=343 error message (the connection to the company file has been lost....). When I log back in, the files I wanted to condense, were not condensed. I even reduced the "remove closed transactions on or before" to the oldest year, 2007, and keep doing this process one year at a time until I reach the desired date. For the heck of it, I removed and re-installed the program from our CD. Thoughts?
