Select this option when:
1. You moved your original QuickBooks company file from one location to another, i.e. from your local drive to a shared drive on your server.
2. You restored the QuickBooks company file from a backup, and it is almost identical to the original file.
3. It is an exact copy of the original QuickBooks company file, and the Customers, Items and invoices are the same or almost the same as the original company file.
Note: if you have imported data from one QuickBooks company file to another QuickBooks company file, Commit sees the second file as a different QuickBooks company file, since the Customers, Items etc receive new record ID numbers in the second file.
After you selected the new company file, the following window will open. Read the instructions carefully.
Select 'a new path for the SAME company file' and click Next.
A window will open warning you that the replacement may take time. Click Yes to confirm that you would like to proceed.
If the new company file is not identical to the original one, you will receive the following message:
If you are sure that the selected file is the same as the current QuickBooks company file, click Yes.
If you've selected a different company file than the current one, click No.
Here click Finish.
Done! You have successfully replaced the QuickBooks company file Commit syncs with. Commit now has the new path to the QuickBooks company file.
Once you have completed selecting the new company file, you will be returned to the Options window. Click OK to close it.
