It's nice to have you hereb, Irene Lewis,
 

I'll make sure you're able to send sales receipt attachment using QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2020.

 

As an initial step, let's check the file for any damage that happened during the upgrade by running the Verify and Rebuild Utility tool. The Verify Data can initially identify any data issues within your company file. Then, the Rebuild tool will self-resolve it. Below are the steps on how to do it:

 

Verify data:

  1. Go to File, then Utilities and choose Verify Data.

If it will detect an error, proceed and Rebuild your data:

  1. Go back to the File menu and then Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
  2. Choose OK if you’ll receive a message to back-up your company file.
  3. After creating the back-up file, the Rebuild Data utility will run automatically.
  4. Click OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.

Additionally, we changed the format of the attachments directory from a folder with individual files into it into a Disk Image file with a .qbattach extension. You can probably duplicate it, change the extension on the duplicate to .dmg, and then open it.

Thank you, Charies_M.

I have verified and rebuilt data (it did find some issues.)

I found the attachment library. When I try to open it, I get this error: 

There is no application set to open the document “Attachments Library.qbattach”.

I am unable to duplicate the file (duplicate is grayed out.)

 

Any thoughts?
