My "free" update for software downloaded a few weeks ago. They have fixed the sluggishness of previous versions. It is now Fast.

Took a day or two to realize that item costs would/could not be updated as normal if we were in multi user mode. I left the office and let the help use our support. Five hours later I am back and she is still at it. Not a happy girl. We sent them our data file to rebuild and we were not to even start QB. A day or so later she gets it back and is happy until I log on again. I am slow, but not always stupid. I leave and let her deal with it. Some poor tech tried to tell her the problem was "fixed". :rant:

So the next update to QB Enterprise will be coming your way...eventually.

this isn't the first time that you've had your QB hose you, iirc.

you've got more transactional information than i do. most people do.
however, when my spouse converted to quicken for the mac, the
language that ensued would make an ironworker blush.

they did a hack job of porting to OSX, and don't support it at all.
understandable. if i designed that POS, i wouldn't support it either.

when i dumped QB premier was when i started going paperless, and
went to neatworks. everything got digitally sorted, and all was good.
i could run reports, print them, and just enter the data in turbotax.

i'm still using neatworks, and scanning everything into it with the iphone
app, but how i'm getting my data now, is Mint.

everything i buy goes thru the business accounts, and they are all
linked there. i just make tags for the stuff, review the transactions,
tag them, and when i need data, just spit out a report.

if i need to track by job, i use multiple tags. a tag for 2013 taxes,
a tag for material expense or whatever, and a tag for job #1388, etc.
income is done the same way.

"Hard copy" is still done with neatworks, but i don't pull the numbers off it.

if the IRS want's to know what's going on, i can share any portion of the
neatworks cloud i want to, send them a link to log on, and they can pick
flychit out of pepper until their eyes bleed.

i haven't even used the neatworks scanner in a year, the phone does it all.

neatworks is a buck and a quarter a year or so, depending on how much data.
Mint is free.

Quickbooks seems to by dying. maybe it's time to look for another horse to
carry you the distance... just a thought.
