Today's topic is working with client files when they are using a Mac and you are using QuickBooks for PC. Quite often I need to get a backup of my client's work to take to my office and then return with changes or new postings. I generally don’t use the Accountant’s Copy because it can create significant limitations in the client’s file and they usually aren’t very happy with me; I prefer to take a backup to my office and work on their file when they can stay out of QuickBooks while I am working. This podcast will discuss the process using QuickBooks 2006 for Mac. It’s easy to go back and forth between Mac and PC if you follow a few simple instructions. When you do, a report will be generated in a PDF format that offers simple instructions for the process and provides a list of data that won’t be converted, unsupported reports in QuickBooks for Mac , and unsupported Report Filters that won’t convert from Mac to PC when you restore the work to ...

Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Hi, I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal. Welcome to another in my series of “Quicklets” – informational podcasts about QuickBooks, Peachtree and related bookkeeping topics. Recently a client called because she needed to split liabilities to two separate checks. Here's what happened. She paid 401K liabilities to the usual agency on a check a couple of weeks ago. Today the check was returned to her because her employer had made some changes to the plan and moved part of the employee contributions to another agency and neglected to tell her about it. When she voided the returned check, the liabilities all returned to the Payroll Liability journal as they originally were recorded. Her question to me was: How can I ...

Welcome to another QuickBooks Gal Minute. I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal. Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Today I'd like to discuss the tricky process of Restoring a QuickBooks Backup File from a Vista computer to a Windows XP computer. Our office has both Vista and XP computers. In exchanging QuickBooks files between computers, we have found that files going from Vista to XP require a little attention to detail. When you restore a file from Vista to an XP computer, you may find that XP defaults to restoring the backup to the source media by default; for instance if you are restoring from a flash drive, Windows XP QuickBooks will default to the flash drive and if you are not careful, you will restore to the flash drive rather than the preferred directory. Then, when you remove the flash drive from the port and open QuickBooks, you will discover that the changes you expected to be restored are not on your computer. To prevent this, make sure you restor...
