• I knew the exact location of the QuickBooks company file, so I clicked on the Browse button.

• After selecting the file, I clicked on the Scan button.

• The software started the file scan. The process took a few minutes (The time varies depending on the size of the file).

• Next, I clicked on the vendors and customers tab to see the preview. 
• After previewing the file, I clicked on the Save option on the Home ribbon.
• The Save File window was displayed. It contains a Browse option to select the new QBW file, which I have created to save the recovered file.

• The saving process started when I clicked OK.
