 Good Software April 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Our old Quicken was getting rather inadequate for our small business needs, so our accountant recommended that our next update should also be an upgrade to the Quickbooks Pro.
After a few weeks, its use has been fairly similar to the Quicken software and no major learning curves involved. It does have much more extensive reporting options. My major concern though was the adjustment and ease of learning. So far, so good.
 A Nightmare to Enter Invoices April 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After spending MANY hours setting up what initially seemed to be a well developed accounting program. I discover that Quickbooks is a nightmare to use to enter an Invoice or sales order.
- Relies on the user knowing the Item Code for every product stocked by the user company.
- No facility to search through the Product items from a keyword box.
- requires users to drill down through the list of items in a drop down box (could be thousands).
- the drop down box to choose the item being ordered is poorly designed and too narrow to read more than the first few letters of the description and find the correct item.
- the item list screen has the same problems.
- Find Screen also uses the same narrow drop down box for Items, so you need to know the item code to use that also.
So Quickbooks is NOT FOR WHOLESALERS, or IMPORTERS or Distributors or anyone with a large number of items per invoice. NOR FOR anyone who wants to use it to enter sales orders or invoices efficiently.
Quickbooks Pro Professional Business 2008 is just laughable. It has not addressed this fundamental design floor after all these years. This company also had a specialized version touted for wholesalers in their higher end version with the same fault.
 New and Improved Quickbooks April 21, 2008

They really raised the bar on this version. It is a lot easier to use and it makes more sense. It is much easier to add new employees and do payroll. Very nicely done.
 Unnecessary updates April 20, 2008

I have been a Quick Books user for many years and the 2005 version suited all my needs, but then Intuit informed me it would no longer support business e mails with this version and as most of my estimating and billing is done this way I was forced to upgrade.
I do not like the layout of the upgrade, nor the fact that I cannot back up onto a floppy disc, I have customized it as best I can, but I much preferred the 2005 version.
Piece of Junk!! April 20, 2008

I have used Quickbooks for over 12 years. This has got to be the worst version to date. I've learned to live with constant popups wanting you to buy Intuit services. My latest version was 2005. In December of last year I installed an auto update and it blew up Quickbooks. Everytime it would start it would try to do an install I would get an error (1602 or 17xx). If I kept canceling on the errors Quickbooks would finally start. I called Tech support and worked with them for over 4 hours. I was finally able resolve the issue by uninstalling, deleting some registry keys, deleting a couple of folders on the 'C' drive, downloading the latest update and doing a manual update.
The problem went away until the next auto update and it broke the program again. I called tech support again and they suggested I upgrade to 2008. Since support for 2005 was about to expire I purchased the upgrade. Everything went along fine during the install and update to the last release. Well I just got my 1st auto update and guess what it broke the program again. Now every time I try to run the program I have to go through an install process which takes ten minutes or longer. Once it completes the program works fine but I have go through the install process every time I start the program.
I use the program to track church expenses and budgets and quickbooks is a cost effective solution for this but I'm getting to the point where the aggravation just isn't worth it. Well back to tech support!!!
