    I am experiencing C=47 issue when I try to change a date error on a recently issued check.  I cannot even delete the bill payment to reissue without getting this error.  I was wondering if the fact that I am running 2 screens a possible issue.  I open the program in my laptop then QuickBooks opens in my big screen.  I had not previously had this experience.  I recently had to change the display screen number so that I could filter reports.  

     

    I'm going to try your recommended fix below.  Hopefully, it'll be the answer.

     

    Thank you.

    Appears to be fixed using partial instructions below.  I opened file as instructed but the Windows+E magnified QuickBooks and that was very alerting.  However, I managed to exit and continued the program, pulled up the check and was able to change the date with no C=47 error!!

     

    Thank you very much!!

    Thanks for posting as solved. How is it possible that I have to read every thread to get to a solution.

    I performed all steps to no avail. Then found this thread and repaired the install on the user pc in question. Problem solved. How many time do we need to ask Intuit to post a list of the errors and simplify the process?

    We are paying for Enterprise subscriptions and they still want to drive you to a paid service.
