 Don't upgrade until they fix problems. December 11, 2007

I have been using Quickbooks Pro for over 10 years so I have found many good features but the loan manager for managing loans has a major flaw they can't seem to fix. The data files are stored in a separate file format & don't back up with a normal data back up. Then they don't transfer when you upgrade to a newer version. You can't access them because it moves all the other files to the newer version. I told them 2 years ago about this & they promised a fix soon. Didn't happen. Tech support told me to recreate the files manually, they were sorry.

Intuit steadily increases the fees for payroll tax updates. If you read the reviews for the 2007 version, you'll see everyone complaining about the cost for these updates increasing to $200 (it was once $49). Now they've jacked it up to $350.
That bears repeating: PAYROLL TAX UPDATES ARE NOW $350 ANNUALLY.
And I expect them to keep increasing, because they have their users by the coin purse.

I have been using Quickbooks for over 6 years now. This newest installment is better than any of them I have used in the past. I really like the feature of not having to send email invoices from the Intuit server. We did have issues with that on our last copy (2006). I like that you can use Outlook Express for that.
The ease of use of this program is great. I was a complete newbie when I started using it years ago, and it was so user friendly. The "help" actually helps you!
Great product Intuit. Keep up the great work!
Support is in Pakistan. You must update or you will lose it all. December 26, 2007

If the computer ask to update and download stuff for Intuit you better do it. If you don't you will lose all info and never be able to uninstall or install quickbooks on that computer again. If you try to get customer support your call is transfered to Pakistan. You may have to pay for the call. Don't try to sell your copy it cost you an additional $25 plus tax, Reg and License fees. If I didn't pay enough for the headache. I am going to Microsoft Business. I already down loaded many free forms on the internet. If you want to wast money here is your ticket.
Upgrade WARNING March 15, 2008

I was forced to upgrade by Intiut's payroll service from QB2005 to QB2008. If you are upgrading from QB2005 or before you MUST read the following: This is a MAJOR upgrade with a change in your company file format. Before you upgrade you must backup your company file to floppy, second hard drives, CD, DVD, anywhere and everywhere you can. Please reread the previous sentence. After the install finishes it asks you if you will let it move your company file to a new QB directory. YOU MUST WRITE DOWN THE LOCATION OF THIS NEW DIRECTORY ON A PIECE OF PAPER because in the install step coming up QB2008 forgets where it put it. Preferably you will have QB2008 find and load this moved file rather than loading one of your multiple backups because your backup has a different file suffix. FWIW: My Windows Internet Explorer (XP Home-SP2) oddly found the moved file but didn't tell me the files' correct directory path. Really. I finally located the moved company file in a shared documents area which is not where Internet Explorer said it was. In loading this file for the first time QB2008 will convert the file to the new QB2008 format.
When I went to register my QB2008 the online registration failed because it claimed my IE wouldn't allow cookies which isn't true. Hmmm. What is Intuit up to with this? To register I had to talk to someone in India who was hard to hear and understand.
It seems that every few years QuickBooks changes their company file format and almost forces you to upgrade. BTW: The install program adds some advertising icons to your desktop. No problem. Just right click them and delete them.
The program menu in QB2008 looks completely different than QB2005. Looks like I'll be spending some time re-learning.
