Quickbooks won't let me create a new company file.

Each time I try to create a new company file, I click "save" to start the process, and it says "The file cannot be saved." and then Quickbooks crashes.

Edit: It only did this when I tried to save into Quickbooks. When I saved it in Documents, I can open the new file, but then I can't open it on the other shared computers, which is a problem.

Your company file should be stored in you documents folder. Once you enable multiuser mode the company file will show under the shared dropdown in the no company open window.

Thank you! That was surprisingly easy.

I too am having problems creating a new company file. I created a backup and stored it in documents. The app crashes when I select New company file. I am using Quicken 2019 MAC Desktop.
