QuickBooks 2011 R10 Released
Intuit has released the QuickBooks 2011 R10 update for the U.S. version of QuickBooks. Lots of little bug fixes and changes. Please note that I have not had the opportunity to check or confirm each of the issues listed here. At the time I’m writing this the release is available as a manual update from the [...]
QuickBooks Online Data Access and Security
I have a “thing” about data security. I think that most businesses don’t do a good job in securing their data. They don’t make backups properly, they don’t protect the data, they don’t ensure that they will continue to have access to important information, they don’t understand what is being done with their data.

QuickBooks Update for Manage Apps and Services–an Unexpected Update
When I opened my copy of Premier 2011 recently, an update dialog window popped up that surprised me. I wasn’t expecting an update (I was already running the most current “R#” release). Wait a minute, QuickBooks is telling me that there is an update? I’m already up to date? Is this a bogus message like [...]

Intuit has released the QuickBooks 2010 R11 update. I’ll list the changes that I’m aware of. There often are other changes that aren’t officially announced. Please note that I haven’t tested every one of these updates myself at this time.
