Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    New Product from Alpha - QReportbuilder Featured on QuickBooks Newsletter

    New Product from Alpha - QReportbuilder Featured on QuickBooks Newsletter

    As some you know, we have been working on a new product inspired by Alpha Five for about 2 years.

    It is www.qreportbuilder.com

    It will be formally announced later this month and it is designed to be the first QuickBooks Centric Report Writer aimed at letting people build custom reports against QuickBooks Data. (The QuickBooks report writer is fine for standard accounting reports, but does not adress any custom reporting or business analysis or business intelligence needs - thats where QReportbuilder comes in)

    We were delighted to see the prominence that Intuit has decided to give it in its January QuickBooks Newsletter http://accountant.intuit.com/practic...QReportBuilder

    More information on the product follows



    � QReportBuilder simplifies reporting: Build the report once in the visual designer; thereafter, run the report anytime on the latest company data.

    � QReportBuilder allows you to generate virtually any custom report you can imagine based on your underlying QuickBooks data. Your QuickBooks reports can even combine data with external sources such as Excel, SQL data or MS Access.

    � By letting QReportBuiler unlock critical information buried in QuickBooks, you are able to make informed and intelligent business decisions for profitability and growth.

    � Why rely exclusively on intuition to make smart decision? By adding QReportBuilder to your toolbox, you can rely on QReportbuilder to give you penetrating insights into your business. In turn these insights will empower you to make smart decisions that are based on up-to-date data.
