A QBX file is an accountant’s transfer copy of a QuickBooks company file. A company file in this format cannot be modified aside from adding journal notes. If a client has sent you a QBX file, you cannot use it until you either convert it to a “regular” accountant’s copy file (QBA) or a company file (QBW). You can only open or convert files saved in the current version of QuickBooks or the year prior.
