Why I Hate QuickBooks
April 11th, 2010 | Published in Technology | 1 Comment
Hate is a strong word. Maybe I am overstating it. Listen to this and tell me if I’m crazy.
I have been using QB Pro 2007 for the last four years. It does what I need. I never run updates as I don’t use the Payroll function. If I were to have a problem with the software, I’d run them manually.
I have known for a while that at some point, the one feature that makes my bookkeeping simple would be taken away unless I upgrade. I send my invoices via email through QuickBooks.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I got the message that I would have to upgrade if I wanted to continue using this feature. My option would be to print my invoices to PDF files and manually attach them to a new email in Outlook. Extra steps. I felt it was worth it to upgrade to keep my workflow streamlined.
Guess What?
QuickBooks 2010 attaches the invoices you want to send via email to a new message in outlook, you then have to click Send again.
Upgrading saved me one small step, the attaching part. That’s it.
ARGHHHHHH!
