DATA RECOVERY: How to find the company file location on Reckon Accounts business range (Desktop)

There may come a time when you need to locate your company data file on your local computer to copy, move, rename it or other file manipulation task.

To do so, you will need to know where your file is currently located.

When you are logged in to the Reckon Accounts software, first close any currently open data file.

Click on the File menu and select Close Company

You should now see the No Company Open screen.

There you will see a listing of the data files that have been recently opened.

For each file, if you select its name it will also display the current location of that data file.



You can then click on the "Open or restore an existing company" button to navigate to the file if you need to copy/move/rename it.

Or use the Windows File Explorer to navigate to that location.

If the file you are looking for is not one of the recently opened files or does not appear on the list, then you can also use the built-in Windows Search function.
