Review: Intuit PaymentNetwork
Intuit recently announced the Intuit PaymentNetwork, a low cost method of sending and receiving payments. As someone who collects and makes payments via online services every day, I was intrigued by the extremely low fees for this service. I’ve been playing with it lately, so here are some thoughts.

An update on the 2009 R8 patch. Intuit has released links to this patch in several places, but some of the links don’t point you to the correct file.

QuickBooks 2009 R8 – Online Bank Fixes
A quick Saturday note – more on this later. Release R8 of QuickBooks 2009 has multiple fixes for the Online Banking feature – including the option to switch to the 2008 version of online banking which many people have requested.
QuickBooks 2009 Release R7
Intuit has released the R7 update to QuickBooks 2009 on March 23 - it is available via manual update. Automatic updates will probably be released later this week. This article was revised on 3/24/2009.
There are a number of changes with this release. Please note that I have not tested all of these changes at this time. I’ll point out some of the significant changes here – for a full list go to the update info page.
QuickBooks Online Banking – Interview and Updates
OK, I hope that this is my last blog posting specifically on the QuickBooks Online Banking feature for awhile. Two items today – a discussion with Greg Wright of Intuit on how they are dealing with the problems of this feature, and a preview of some of the changes coming out in the next update.
How to Deal With QuickBooks 2009 Online Banking
I’ve written several posts about the problems with the new online banking feature in QuickBooks (here, here and here), and in this article I’m going to provide you with some resources to help you if you have to deal with these problems. (Note that on 3/17/2009 I published a followup article)
QuickBooks 2009 Release R5 and QuickBooks Messenger
In an earlier article I talked about the new QuickBooks Messenger feature, which some people love and others hate. I provided a method that you could use to turn it off, which involved renaming or erasing a file. One problem with this approach – when you update to a new release, the Messenger feature would be restored.
Good news! In the R4 and R5 updates of QuickBooks 2009 they have added a function that lets you easily turn this feature off. When you are logged in as the Administrator in multi-user mode you will find Disable QuickBooks Messenger as an option in the File/Utilities menu.

I’m posting some information from Intuit about some updates they are making in December, as well as a link to a video they have produced. Note that these releases apply to the Windows versions only, at this time.
QuickBooks 2009 and Online Banking – Continued
In my November 3rd posting on QuickBooks 2009 and Online Banking I talked about the problems with the new, updated Online Banking feature in QuickBooks 2009. I received a response from Rich Walker, an Accountant Communications and Media Relations employee from Intuit who wanted to pass on additional information. Note that a lot of this duplicates what was said by Intuit product manager Greg Walker in the Intuit Community discussion on this subject, but it does add more information.
QuickBooks 2009 and Online Banking
As more people implement QuickBooks 2009 there is a rising storm of protest over changes in one feature – Online Banking. The 2009 release made a significant number of changes in this feature, and many people are finding that the new functions make their reconciliation of online banking transactions with their QuickBooks records very laborious. Intuit has heard this, and there are plans to create an update that will fix the problems.
