C=47

Thanks for notifying us of your concern, @brookie73. I'm here to share some troubleshooting steps to resolve error C=47 in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Before that, may I ask what specific task you performed that resulted in the error message? This way, I can check my resources for investigations that best match your condition and provide a workaround if there are any.

In the meantime, we can utilize the Verify and Rebuild tool to scan your QBDT for potential damages and repair them. Before doing so, ensure that the program is in its latest update. 

To verify your company data:

1. Go to Window and select Close All.
2. Select File, then Utilities.
3. Click Verify Data.

Here's how to rebuild:

1. Go to File, select Utilities, and then select Rebuild Data.
2. Press OK when QBDT asks to make a backup. Choose where to save it and click OK.
3. Select OK once you get the message Rebuild has completed.
   

Once done, rerun the Verify Data tool to double-check for additional damage.

Moreover, I'm adding this article that could help you whenever you run into an unrecoverable error in QBDT: Troubleshoot Unrecoverable Error XXXXX XXXXX.
