Jerry, I’m not clear – are you talking about your company file, with the “QBW” file type? If it is on the CD, you should just be able to copy it back from the CD onto your C: drive…

i set out to make a cd with some files to put into another computer. i told it to send them instead of copy them. my QB is now on the CD in read only; can you tell me if and how I can open the program or undue the send. The QB program is no longer on the original C Drive because I clicked send instead of copy.

SN, I’m not sure what you mean by “QB2009 does not recommend Vista”? I use QB 2009 on Vista all the time, with great success.

I have a Mac G5- maxed out the Virtual PC side with the new 2009 Quickbooks. Considered a laptop PC , but QB2009 does not recommend Vista. I need to know if this Vista issue is easy to resolve now. It appears that there are fixes out there. Do I need to worry about this change.

My clients are having problems with online banking error, non-printable characters. What in the heck is going on with Intuit? FIX this problem or everyone will drift to Peachtree. Most companies use online banking and in this day and age a company like Intuit should NOT have let version 09 out of the building until it was checked out completely. Now how about that fix???????????????????????//

The feature that is still missing is autocompletion of deposits for the multiple match option. The autocomplete functionality used to cover both payments and deposits but now it is only working for payments. This is a big hassle.

BTW, when typing in the account you used to be able to use the : to jump to the end of the current suggestion. That is not working either.

Peter, I’ve not run into that problem on my system or with any of my direct support clients. You might search about this in the Intuit Community forum to see if anyone else has run across it.

I am having some issues after updating to R7. When I go create and estimate, I am unable to print, turn it to pdf, email. When I try to create PDF it gives me an error stating I need to try to save the file again.

But if I convert the estimate to an invoice, I am then able to convert to PDF, email, etc. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue I need to be able to save estimates to pdf.

Thanks.

We had the same problem. I read somewhere an answer that worked. Don’t know why Intuit couldn’t write some sort of batch file to do this but here goes:
when quickbooks won’t back up, find the qbwin.log file on your computer, open it in notepad and
write down a list of all the estimate numbers that it reported as having some stupid error.
ie
1234
2057
etc
Then go back and open each estimate and type a PERIOD on the blank line AFTER the last line.
Save each one.
when you are finished, quickbooks will back up.

Richard: I personally use QB 2009 on Vista without any problems, and I also have it set up on XP (for testing, not daily use), and I don’t have firewall or speed issues. There are people who have add problems, every firewall is different and every networked system has it’s flukes. Every installation is different. The biggest hassle with the 2009 product is for online banking, if you do a lot of transactions that way. NOTE that if you get a demo copy of Pro 2009 you can install it and still run your 2006 version at the same time, so you can test the 2009 product. Just don’t install the new version in the same folder as the older version. And make copies of your files – so that you have a 2006 file and a 2009 file, because once you open a file with 2009 it can no longer be opened with 2006. You can have seperate files for each version, continue to use 2006 for your production environment, and run tests on the 2009 program to see if it works for you (or to work on fine tuning it).
