- Before making any changes in your QuickBooks I would recommend you to take backup of your company file.
- Make sure your QuickBooks is not running
- In QuickBooks check the location of your company file, by clicking F2 from your keyboard when your QuickBooks is opened.
- Navigate where your file is located
- Right click on the file and select rename
- Change the file name and enter
- Click Yes to confirm the change
Now as we changed the company file name, we will need to open the file in QuickBooks.
- Launch QuickBooks and on the top click on the file
- Select open or restore a company file
- Select open company file
- Select the newly renamed company file.
