The automatic update in-product will be available on Tuesday, March 22, 2011. You are encouraged to allow this automatic update and to accept the patch.

TRANSACTIONS IN HISTORY PANE

IMPROVED MEMORIZED TRANSACTIONS

With this improvement, you’ll save time when entering the same transaction multiple times!

They also improved the wording of the scheduling options to reduce confusion.

BATCH INVOICE FOR TIME AND EXPENSES

With this new feature, you will reduce the time needed to invoice multiple customers for billable time and expenses.

Off-Site Backup Solution for QuickBooks

October 16, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

I was researching something earlier and ran across an interesting idea for backing up your QuickBooks file.

Set your QuickBooks to automatically backup every time you close it (make sure you’re using the data verification!!) and set it to save in your DropBox folder!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner, as I use DropBox and LOVE it! The free version comes with 2 MB of storage space, but honestly, I’m not anywhere even close to that right now (only using about 6% of my space).

QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification

July 6, 2008 By Sherra Leave a Comment

I finished (and passed) the QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification this weekend for both the 2007 & 2008 versions. Now I need to update my web site and marketing material with the new information and come up with some training packages to offer clients. However, I’m waiting on the folks at Intuit to return to the office after the holiday weekend to find out where my darn links for the ProAdvisor logos are…they aren’t where they were supposed to be.
