 QuickBooks 2007/08 Email Patch

QuickBooks 2007/08 Email Patch is a free update for QuickBooks 2007/08. The change in email behaviour after installing Service Pack 1 was made to ensure QuickBooks 2007/08 was compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista and Outlook 2007.

From customer feedback we understand that many of our existing customers who have not made the change to Microsoft Windows Vista and/or Office 2007 would prefer to keep their existing QuickBooks functionality.

As a direct result of this feedback we have developed an email patch only for QuickBooks 2007/08 users not on Microsoft Windows Vista or Office 2007.

 Patch description

QuickBooks 2007/08 Email Patch is to revert the emailing change made in Service Pack 1 allowing you to preview and edit individual emails and their attachments before they are sent. This email patch contains no other changes and/or enhancements to QuickBooks. All other functionality in QuickBooks, including the tax updates, will continue to function as per Service Pack 1.


 Who will benefit from this patch?

If you use QuickBooks 2007/08 with Service Pack 1, and are not using Microsoft Windows Vista and/or Office 2007 you may install this patch.

This patch is not mandatory, it is for users that wish to preview emails from QuickBooks within their emailing application before being sent.

Note: This patch is for users who have installed Service Pack 1. QuickBooks 2007/08 users not on Service Pack 1 will not benefit from this patch.
