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.

One of the new features introduced in QuickBooks 2009 is the QuickBooks Messenger, a feature that helps with communication between QuickBooks users in multi-user environments. I’ll give you a brief overview, talk about what it can do and some of its shortcomings, and also talk about how to disable it if you don’t want it.  Updated 1/5/2009
