Open Existing Company

If you have more than one company file and want to open another file, you'll need to choose Open Existing Company from the File menu. The Please Select Company File window will appear. In most cases, you'll be able to simply select the company file you want to open and then click OK.

If the company file you want to open isn't displayed in the Please Select Company File window, you can locate the file as follows:

1 Click on the Look in drop-down list to select the drive and folder that the company file resides on. This is usually the same drive that Elite Payroll is running from. If you are using Elite Payroll Pro on a network, then the data file is probably on a network drive.

2 You should now see a list of QPW files (also called company files) that can be opened. Click to select the file that you wish to open.

3 Click OK. Elite Payroll will open the selected company data file and return to the Elite Payroll main screen.

Elite Payroll will open the company data file and return to the main screen with the List Employees window open.
