I've been seeing occasional errors when opening my company file, and several users have suggested trying QuickBooks File Doctor.
Before I run it, I'd like to understand when this tool is actually recommended. Is it mainly used for damaged company files, network connectivity problems, or both?
If you've used QuickBooks File Doctor successfully, what type of issue did it resolve? Did it fix the problem completely, or were additional troubleshooting steps needed afterward?
I'd also like to know if creating a backup before running the tool is recommended.
Any real-world experiences or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
