QuickBooks 2010 R4 Update
Some early notes on the R4 release for QuickBooks 2010, which is now available. I have to say, I’m getting tired of updates, AND I’m getting tired of updates that come in December when work schedules are more complicated and things are getting more frenetic as we approach the end of the year.
QuickBooks 2009 R10
The QuickBooks 2009 R10 release is available via Manual Update. It will be released via Automatic Update in a few days, most likely.
QuickBooks 2009 R10 Update Coming
A quick note about an upcoming release of QuickBooks 2009 – the R10 release. This should be ready on December 15. This should fix the problem with the sales tax report as I talked about in an earlier article. Please note that I have not tested this at this time (it isn’t generally available). Update 12/15/2009- R10 has been released, see my followup article on R10 for more details.
QuickBooks 2009 R9 Sales Tax Problem
According to this Intuit KB article, there is a problem with the R9 update of QuickBooks 2009 that relates to sales tax. The article says that some Sales Tax reports are not displaying correctly. This affects the Sales Tax Liability and Sales Tax Revenue reports. If you work with sales tax in QuickBooks these are critical reports.
QuickBooks 2009 R9 Update Problems
Is there a problem with the QuickBooks 2009 R9 update? The update was released to Manual Update in late November, and was released to Automatic Update just recently. Ever since the start of the Automatic Update came out, a very large number of messages about problems started popping up in the Intuit Community Forum. As of today, it looks like Intuit has temporarily removed it from Automatic Update.
QuickBooks 2009 R9 Update
Intuit has published Release 9 of QuickBooks 2009 (R9). You can get it through the manual update as well as the automatic update process. I’ve been running it without any problems myself.
QuickBooks 2010 R2 Update
Intuit has released the R2 update for QuickBooks Pro/Premier 2010 and Enterprise 10. If you are set up for automatic updates you should be getting it, or go to the manual update page. If you aren’t sure how to determine what release you are using, see my posting on automatic updates. I’ll outline the changes here.
QuickBooks 2010 and Integrated Application Errors (80040408 etc.)
QuickBooks Compatible add-on programs (also referred to as “third party” programs) generally use the SDK (software development kit) provided by Intuit. This allows them to exchange information with QuickBooks in a controlled and secure fashion. With the release of QuickBooks 2010 we have seen a number of complaints from people using a variety of add-on programs, generally saying that their add-on programs stopped working.
QuickBooks and Windows 7
Back in July I wrote an article about QuickBooks on Windows 7 RC and Internet Explorer 8, where I talked about QuickBooks 2009 on the pre-release version of Windows 7. Since that time we have had the public release of Windows 7, and the release of QuickBooks 2010, so it is time that I revisited this subject.
Custom Fields in QuickBooks Enterprise 10
I discussed custom fields in QuickBooks in an article last year, and it is one of the most popular articles in my blog. Many users depend on custom fields to add features to invoices, sales orders and estimates (and more). The two most common complaints about custom fields have been there need to be more and I need to define the “type” of the field. If you are a user of QuickBooks Enterprise – good news! Intuit has listened.
