    You can get a full working trial version from dick smiths, harvey norman ect , It cost 10 bucks and is only valid for three months if you upgrade to a full version starting from about $125.00 the 10 bucks is refunded to you if you send away for it.

    Is anyone having a problem with emailing invoices via Quickbooks. I get a problem with two customers who never receive the attached PDF even though it has been sent from my end Ok.

    If I forward the sent email to them they get it. It's really weird. It only occurs when I do a batch send.
    Cheers

    Check Quickbooks updates. There was an email patch that was only meant for systems using latest office and/or Vista (I think!)
    A later update fixed the email stuffup the previous patch caused.
    If you can't access update 'cos your subscription ran out, send me an email (and which version/year you got.)

    I still sometime get customers who can't open their attachments. I suspect this is 1. Their email server blocked it, or 2. They need to update Acrobat Reader

    Hi David

    Thanks mate I will check it out. I had thought of the issue of them not having Adobe but this is that they just don't ever get it. I will see what the updates do. The really weird thing is that it only occurs for 2 clients. The others get it fine

    I reckon you are right Simon. I only use the batch send because this is the only way I have found to alter the email. Any advice on that topic would be greatly appreciated.

    Quickbooks is good but has draw backs. Like not being able to do a quote . This floors me that you cannot do this.

    1. The patch that undoes the email update allows you once again to edit an email before it is sent

    2. To do a quote, try modifying an invoice template and rename/relabel it as Quotation.
    As you enter the quote, go to edit tab and mark invoice as pending (non posting). Now you can save/print/email your quote but values aren't assigned to any accounts.
    If you do get the job, change template back to your standard invoice, then go back to edit tab and mark invoice as final - ready to save/email/print!

    Me too! I suspect it has to do with their server - have they accidentally blacklisted you as a spammer?

    With my two I just make sure I type the balance owing in the text of the email. Otherwise, a short email with basic details might surfice for your two.

    The patch is for non Windows Vista OS. I am running Vista so will that cause a problem.? Good tip about the quote I will try that out.
